RIDDLES

I have many leaves,

But I’m not a tree.

I’m something nice,

Come and read me. (A book)

It is running

Night and day,

But it never

Runs away. (A clock)

He doesn’t speak,

Nor does he sing,

Nor at the doorbell

Give a ring.

But still he lets

His master know

Who wants to see him:

A friend or foe. (A dog)

My face is black,

As black as night.

On it, with chalk,

All pupils write. (A blackboard)


I have no legs,

But I can run.

I have no tongue,

But I tell everyone:

“Time to start work!”

“Time to go to bed!”

“Time to get up again,

You, sleepy-head!” (An alarm-clock)

Never planted,

Still it grows.

What’s the answer?

Now who knows? (Hair)

Runs all day and never walks.

Often murmurs, never talks.

It has a bed, but never sleeps.

It has a mouth, but never eats. (A river)

He likes carrots,

And at night,

When the moon

And stars are bright.

To the farmer’s

Field he’ll go,


Where the juicy

Carrots grow.

Who’s he? (A rabbit)

Whether I’m coming

Or whether I’m going,

I sing a song

When I am blowing. (Wind)

I know something

Which falls upon the ground.

I know something

Which doesn’t make a sound.

I know something

Which makes the whole world white,

And when the children see it

They shout with delight. (Snow)

We have friends,

They cannot talk

And cannot see,

But they are very good

To you and me.

With these friends

We sail on ships
And ride on trains,

And even fly

In airplanes.

These friends show us

Towns, seas and lands.

Can you guess

Who are these good friends? (Books)

Higher than a house,

Higher than a tree –

Oh, whatever

Can that be? (A cloud)

I am an insect,

I have a long tongue,

I gather nectar from flowers,

I live in a hive. (A bee)

We are very large,

Though we seem small,

We float on high and never fall,

We shine like jewels in the night,

But in the day are hid from sight. (Stars)
