Riddle Me This

The children are getting ready to go back to school and their teachers are hard at work sending them snail mail to get the thinking and heading back to school mode. One of the teachers is sending out riddles.  I thought it might be fun to give a few a try.

“I am the beginning of sorrows, and the end of sickness. You cannot express happiness without me, yet I am in the midst of crosses. I am always in risk, yet never in danger. You may find me in the sun, but I am never out of darkness.”

Do you know the answer?

A cloud was my mother, the wind is my father, my son is the cool stream, and my daughter is the fruit of the land. A rainbow is my bed, the earth my final resting place, and I’m the torment of man. Who Am I?

Do you know the answer?

“I have a little house in which I live all alone. It has no doors or windows, and if I want to go out I must break through the wall. What am I?”

Do you know the answer?

“There are four brothers in this world that were all born together. The first runs and never wearies. The second eats and is never full. The third drinks and is always thirsty. The fourth sings a song that is never good. What are the four brothers?”

Do you know the answer?

“You’re in a magical bathroom with no windows and the only way things can get in and out is by an open door. You decide to have a bath so you turn on the tap, you shut the door and the handle breaks so you can’t open it, you then turn off the tap and the knob breaks so water keeps coming. How do you save yourself from drowning?”

Do you know the answer?
