Two Sisters Give Birth to the Other
They are two sisters. One gives birth to the other, who in turn gives birth to the first. What are the two sisters?
Night and day. When night is over, the day breaks, and when the day ends, night is born anew.
I Wear You Down
I wear you down, yet you will mourn me once I fly.
You can kill me, but I will never die.
Time.
(found in The Copper Gauntlet by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare)
Cheap To Make, Easy To Define
I’m cheap to make and easy to define.
A riverbank could populate the line.
What am I?
A boundary.

Gets Rid of Bad Ones
Gets rid of bad ones,
Short and tall,
Tightens when used
One size fits all.
A noose.
Tall in Morning, Short at Noon
Tall in the morning, short at noon, gone at night but I’ll be back soon. What am I?
A shadow.
Two Days of the Week Starting With T
What two days of the week start with âTâ, other than Tuesday and Thursday?
Today and tomorrow.
If I Can I Can
If I can, I can,
If I can’t, I freeze.
What am I?
Someone preserving food. The two most common ways of preserving food are canning and freezing. So when you preserve food, if you can can it, you do, otherwise you freeze it.
I Make Men Crazy
I can make men crazy,
I shine when you retire.
I move water without a touch,
My colors may cause you ire.
The moon. The moon has a long association with being crazy (lunar being the basis for a lunatic). It shines at night, when you go to bed. The moon’s gravity creates the ocean tides and when the moon is different colors it can mean bad weather is on its way.
