In laborious duty

Just ten will do

to open

to close together

Both bring a new

]

In laborious duty-- Applies to labor, birth-giving

Just ten will do--Just ten centemeters are needed for baby to go through birth canal

to open

to close together -- These two lines apply to a baby being born into the world and a contraction in grammar and in writing such as "don't" or "isn't."

Both bring a new--Labor brings forth a new baby, contractions in grammar bring forth a new word.

Was wondering if you could explain how this fits into the riddle. I can't figure it out :blink:

stretch of land or water -> tract (just the basic definition of the word "tract". Not a pro -> gave me "con" as in the opposite of pro. I put the two together to get contract and from there came up with contractions.
