:duh:These are riddles that the hobbit Biblo and a Gollum tried to fool each other with. Most of them stumped me!!! Good luck, you need it!
1.
What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
up, up it goes,
and yet never grows?
2.
thirty white horses on a red hill,
first they champ,
then they stamp,
then they stay still
3.
voiceless it cries,
wingless flutters,
toothless bites,
mouthless mutters
4.
an eye in a blue face
saw an eye in a green face.
"That eyes is like to this eye"
said the first eye,
"but low in place
not in a high place."
5.
it cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
it lies behind stars and under hills,
and empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
ends life, kills laughter.
6.
A box without hinges, key, or lid,
yet golden treasure inside is hid.
7.
alive without breath,
as cold as death,
never thirsty, never breathing,
all in mail never thinking.
8.
This things all things devours,
birds, beasts, trees, and flowers,
gnaws iron, bites steel,
grinds hard stones to meal,
slays king, ruin town,
and beats high mountain down.
Whew! Good luck!
And I'm not posting the answers quite yet...
