Ten Men’s Strength
Ten men’s strength,
Ten men’s length,
Ten men can’t break it,
Yet a young boy walks off with it.
What am I?
A rope.
In the Sky But Also the Ground
I am in the sky but also in the ground. When you study me, no matter how long, I will always end with an f. I may be in your yard but not in your house. What am I?
A leaf.
A Face But No Eyes
I have a face but no eyes. Hands but no arms. What am I?
A clock.
A Box Without Hinges
A box without hinges, key or lid,
Yet golden treasure inside is hid.
What is it?
An egg.
(From J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit)
Twist and Dance
I love to twist and dance.
Though wingless, I fly high in the sky.
What am I?
A kite.

Haste. You need to make haste to get out of the burning house as soon as possible.
