Round and round and round it goes, The source but not the birth of clothes, Wench and warrior, child and crone, Without it dressed near barer bone.
A spinning wheel. It goes around in circles and makes the thread that is used in clothing and anyone who isn’t wearing clothes would be barer boned.

A merchant has 21 sacks of grain: 7 full, 7 half-full and 7 empty. He wants to divide them equally among his three sons. How can he do this, without transferring any grain between sacks, so each son has the same quantity of grain and number of sacks?
We know each son must end up with 7 sacks and 3.5 sacks of grain, since (7 sacks + 7 half sacks) / 3 = 3.5 sacks each. There are two solutions.
Solution 1 Son 1: 3 full, 1 half-full and 3 empty. Son 2: 3 full, 1 half-full and 3 empty. Son 3: 1 full, 5 half-full and 1 empty.
Solution 2 Son 1: 2 full, 3 half-full and 2 empty. Son 2: 2 full, 3 half-full and 2 empty. Son 3: 3 full, 1 half-full and 3 empty.

I can wake you in the morning but I require no electricity or winding. I can also provide you with a meal, but only once.
What am I?
A rooster. If you did use electricity on your rooster, you would no longer be woken up, but it could provide a finger lickin’ last meal.

I travel a lot and meet both the rich and the poor, but nobody knows where I am going next. I’m invisible but you can see what I do. Who or what am I?
Wind (or anything blown by the wind). It moves all over, reaches the rich and the poor equally and no one knows exactly which way the next gust of wind will blow. You can’t see the wind, but you can see what it blows, like leaves or dust.
