TEN RHYMING RIDDLES

1)
When first I appear,
I seem mysterious;
But when I'm explained,
I'm nothing serious.

2)
I sleep by day,
I fly by night;
I have no feathers
To guide my flight.

3)
There dwell four sisters near this town,
In looks alike, and like in gown.
Round and round in a ring they run,
Chasing each other just for fun.
But even though they gather pace,
Between the three is equal space.

4)
My second is performed by my first,
And it's thought,
A thief by the marks of my whole
Might be caught.

5)
My teeth are sharp,
My back is straight;
To cut things up
Is my fate.

6)
Come up and we go,
Go down and we stay.

7)
Four fingers and a thumb,
Yet flesh and blood have we none.

8)
Black spots on a white face,
Throw us and we tumble all over the place.

9)
I'm a busy, active creature,
Full of mirth and playful nature;
Nimbly I step from tree to tree,
To get the food that's right for me.

10)
Two brother we are,
Great burdens we bear,
By which we are bitterly pressed;
In truth we may say,
We are full every day,
But empty when we go to rest.
