Riddles
1. Who makes it, has no need of it. Who buys it, has no use for it. Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.
2. Whoever makes it, tells it not. Whoever takes it, knows it not. And whoever knows it wants it not.
3. I am always hungry. I must always be fed. The finger I lick will soon turn red.
4. All about, but I cannot be seen and held. No throat, but can be heard.
5. I am only useful when I am full, yet I am always full of holes.
6. Until I am measured, I am not known. Yet how you miss me when I have flown.
7. I go around in circles but always straight ahead. I never complain no matter where I am led.
8. Each morning I appear to lie at your feet. All day I will follow no matter how fast you run. Yet I nearly perish in the midday sun.
9. You heard me before. Yet you hear me again. Then I die until you call me again.
10. What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves. And all men carry to their graves?
