Riddles

R I D D L E S

What am I ?

I live in the kitchen,

And when I get hot,

You may think I am angry,

But , oh no, I am not.

I like to be useful,

No job do I shirk,

And often I whistle

Or sing at my work. (Kettle)

My first is in snow but not in ice,

My second is in mouse and also in mice.

My third is in ocean and also in sea,

My fourth is in wasp but never in bee.

My fifth is in morning and also in night,

My sixth is in dull but not in bright.

My seventh`s in rifle but not in gun.

We have lots of fun. (Seaside)

I often have a cover,

But I am not a bed;

And though I have a spine,

I have not got a head.

I have a lot of pages,

Yet I am not a king.

But in work and play, I am

A very useful thing. (Book)

My first is in paint

And also in draw.

My second is in peace,

But never in war.

My third is in up,

But not in down.

My fourth is in village,

But not in town.

My fifth is in dress,

But not in suit.

My whole is a most

Delicious fruit. (Apple)

           HOW MUCH HAVE THEY?

“Give me two pounds,” said Clever Lew,

“And I`ll have twice as much as you.”

“ You give me two,” replied Sam Leech.

“ And we shall have the same sum each.”
