Can’t Be Touched, Can Be Felt
It can’t be touched, but can be felt.
It can’t be opened, but can be gone into.
Those who seek it always find it under something,
yet it moves from place to place.
Shade. You can’t touch shade, but you can feel its coolness. You can’t open shade but you can go into it. If you’re looking for shade it always has to be underneath something to block the light and shade moves as the light does.

Bird Flying Over the Ocean
When a bird flies over the ocean a part of the body touches the water but doesn’t get wet. What part is it?
The shadow
Can Only Be Given, Not Taken Or Bought
It may only be given,
Not taken or bought,
What the sinner desires,
But the saint does not.
Forgiveness.
I Can Cry Without Eyes
I can cry but I have no eyes.
I can fly but I have no wings.
Wherever I go, darkness follows me.
What am I?
A cloud. Crying is rain, they fly in the sky and darkness follows because they block the sun.
I Am A Word Of Meanings Three
I am a word of meanings three.
Three ways of spelling me there be.
The first is an odour, a smell if you will.
The second some money, but not in a bill.
The third is past tense, a method of passing things on or around.
Can you tell me now, what these words are, that have the same sound?
Scent, cent, sent.
An Insect And a Half
I am an insect. Half of my name is another insect. What am I?
Beetle. (Bee is the other insect).
Holds Fast To The Center Of Everything
There is one word that stands the test of time and holds fast to the center of everything. Though everyone will try at least once in their life to move around this word, but in fact, unknowingly, they use it every moment of the day. Young or old, awake or in sleep, human or animal, this word stands fast. It belongs to everyone, to all living things, but no one can master it. The word is?
Gravity.
Made of Five Letters and Seven Letters
I’m made out of five letters,
And I’m made out of seven letters;
I have keys but I don’t have locks,
I’m concerned with time, but not with clocks.
What am I?
A piano. The word piano has five letters, and the scale on the piano is A through G, seven letters. The piano keys don’t have locks and playing piano requires you to keep time (but with a metronome, not a clock).
Tongue Can’t Taste, Throat Can’t Swallow
What has a tongue that can’t taste, a throat that can’t swallow, eyes that can’t see and a soul that will never die?
A shoe. It has a tongue, a throat, eyes (or eyelets) and a sole. I used soul here or else it would have given the answer away, but this riddle works best when told rather than read. And as the joke goes, old shoes never die, they just lose their sole.
