Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

A Most Unusual Paragraph
This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you’d think nothing was wrong with it – and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck! Don’t blow your cool!
The most common letter in the English language, the letter e, is not found in the entire paragraph.
A Home But No Family
I have an end but no beginning, a home but no family, a space without room. I never speak but there is no word I cannot make. What am I?
A keyboard.
No Thicker Than Your Finger
No thicker than your finger when it folds.
As thick as what it’s holding when it holds.
A sack.
By Sef Daystrom
I Can Be Long or Short
I can be long, or I can be short.

Toss Me Out the Window
Toss me out of the window,
You’ll find a grieving wife,
Pull me back but through the door, and
Watch someone give life!

The letter “n”. (widow, donor).
