Greater Than God
It is greater than God and more evil than the devil. The poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you’ll die. What is it?
Nothing. Nothing is greater than God, nothing is more evil than the devil, the poor have nothing, the rich need nothing and if you eat nothing you’ll die.
Swiftest Traveling Horses
Two horses,
Swiftest traveling,
Harnessed in a pair,
And grazing ever in places,
Distant from them.
What am I?
Eyes.
Around the House Without Touching It
What goes around and in the house, but never touches the house?
The sun.
None There’ll Be
There is a word of letters three,
Add one letter to it and none there’ll be.
What is the word?
One. Add an ‘n’ to get none.
Shuns the Light of Day
What must be in the oven yet can not be baked?
Grows in the heat yet shuns the light of day?
What sinks in water but rises with air?
Looks like skin but is fine as hair?
Yeast.
A Group of Three
I give you a group of three. One is sitting down, and will never get up. The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry. The third goes away and never returns.
Stove, fire, smoke.
