What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?
#Answer: mountain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thirty white horses on a red hill,
First they champ,
Then they stamp,
Then they stand still.
#Answer: teeth
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Voiceless it cries,
Wingless it flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.
#Answer: wind
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
#Answer: darkness
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A box without hinges, key, or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.
#Answer: egg

Alive without breath,
As cold as death;
Never thirsty, ever drinking,
All in mail never clinking.
#Answer: fish
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This thing all things devours:
Birds, beast, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.
#Answer: time

You feel it, but never see it and never will.
#Answer: heart

You break it even if you name it!
#Answer: silence
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It passes before the sun and makes no shadow.
#Answer: air?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You feed it, it lives, you give it something to drink, it dies.
#Answer: fire
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A red drum which sounds
Without being touched,
And grows silent,
When it is touched.
#Answer: heart
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two horses, swiftest travelling,
Harnessed in a pair, and
Grazing ever in places
Distant from them.
#Answer: eyes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A harvest sown and reaped on the same day
In an unplowed field,
Which increases without growing,
Remains whole though it is eaten
Within and without,
Is useless and yet
The staple of nations.
#Answer: war
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you break me
I do not stop working,
If you touch me
I may be snared,
If you lose me
Nothing will matter.
#Answer: hope
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
All about, but cannot be seen,
Can be captured, cannot be held
No throat, but can be heard.
#Answer: air? wind?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I go around in circles,
But always straight ahead
Never complain,
No matter where I am led.
#Answer: wheel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lighter than what
I am made of,
More of me is hidden
Than is seen.
#Answer: ice
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a man carried my burden,
He would break his back.
I am not rich,
But leave silver in my track.
#Answer: snail
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My life can be measured in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.
#Answer: candle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weight in my belly,
Trees on my back,
Nails in my ribs,
Feet I do lack.
#Answer: boat, but I accepted cave as an answer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can see nothing else
When you look in my face
I will look you in the eye
And I will never lie.
#Answer: mirror
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am always hungry,
I must always be fed,
The finger I lick
Will soon turn red.
#Answer: fire
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three lives have I.
Gentle enough to soothe the skin,
Light enough to caress the sky
Hard enough to crack rocks.
#Answer: water
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glittering points
That downward thrust,
Sparkling spears
That never rust.
#Answer: icicles, teeth or stalactites?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each morning I appear
To lie at your feet,
All day I follow
No matter how fast you run,
Yet I nearly perish
In the midday sun.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keys without locks
Yet I unlock the soul.

Leisure centre 'junk food' alert
Many of the snacks were high in sugar, fat and salt
Vending machines stocked with unhealthy snacks in leisure centres run the risk of fuelling childhood obesity, warn experts.
Crisps and chocolate are on sale where children exercise despite being banned from schools and children's TV, the British Heart Foundation found.
And children's meals on offer at the 35 venues spot-checked were dominated by chips, nuggets, sausages and burgers.
The charity wants stricter regulation over the food choices available.
The report, which was prepared by the Food Commission, looked at leisure centres, bowling alleys, ice skating rinks and park cafes.
It's fantastic that these kids are getting fit and having fun at the same time but this is being undermined by venues peddling junk food at them
Chief Executive of the BHF Peter Hollins
The average calorie content of vending machine snacks was 203 calories, which would take a seven-year-old 88 minutes of swimming to use up.
Fresh fruit was displayed at less than half of the venues visited, and nutritional information was displayed at just two of the venues visited.
The BHF said this severely limits the child's and parent's ability to assess the nutritional values of the products they are buying.
Junk ban
BHF chief executive Peter Hollins said: "It's fantastic that these kids are getting fit and having fun at the same time but this is being undermined by venues peddling junk food at them.
"Councils and leisure providers need to rigorously reconsider the food options they are providing and make it easier for parents and children to make healthier choices."
The charity is now calling for public and private sector providers to lead the way in ensuring healthy food options are available and easily identifiable.
It says it should be made a requirement that vending machines in publicly owned facilities are stocked with healthier products.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "We are fully committed to encouraging the adoption of healthy vending machines across the country and expect local authorities to make sure there are healthy food options available in their leisure centres."
Confectionery, crisps and sugary fizzy drinks have been banned from all school vending machines in England since September 2007.
Judy Hargadon, chief executive of the School Food Trust, said: "Convenience doesn't have to mean unhealthy.
"Many schools are using vending to offer pupils extra choice and independence whilst still keeping their options well-balanced and consistent."
