RIDDLES
Dear youngsters, could you answer the following questions.
1. My head and tail both equal are, my middle slender as a bee. Whether I stand on head or heel is quite the same to you or me. But if my head should be cut off, the matter’s true, though passing strange directly I to nothing change. What am I?
2. I am black within and red without, with four corners round about. What am I?
3. Turns me on my backs, and open up my stomach. You will be the wisest of men though at start a lummox. What am I?
4. Every night I’m told what to do, and each morning I do what I’m told. But I still don’t escape your scold. What am I?
5. I am all around, yet to me you are half blind. Sunlight makes me invisible, and difficult to find. What am I?
6. I am seen in the water. If seen in the sky, I am in the rainbow, a jay’s feather, and lapis lazuli. What am I?
