RIDDLES
Dear youngsters, could you answer the following questions.
1. I think you live beneath a roof that is upheld by me; I think you seldom walk abroad, but my fair form you see; I close you in on every side, you very dwelling pave, and probably I'll go with you At last into the grave. What am I?
2. First I may be your servant's name; then your desires I may proclaim; and, when your mortal life is over hold all your wealth within my power. What am I?
3. I am perfect with a head, perfect without a head; perfect with a tail, perfect without a tail; Perfect with either, neither, or both. What am I?
4. I am a precious stone, as clear as diamond. Seek me out while the sun's near the horizon. Though you can walk on water with my power, try to keep me, and I'll vanish in an hour. What am I?
5. Soft and cuddly, I'll pull on your heart. But take my last name and I'll tear you apart. What am I?
6. Lovely and round, I shine with pale light, grown in the darkness, a lady's delight. What am I?
