Has a Mouth But Cannot Drink
Has a mouth but cannot drink.
Has a head but cannot think.
Has a tongue but not a lung.
Some are held and some are hung.
A bell.

Dwarves and Snow White
The dwarves and Snow White sit down for a bite.
How fast can you guess what she serves her guests next?
Seven Seconds
Only One Color, But Not One Size
Only one color, but not one size,
stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies;
present in sun, but not in rain;
doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
A shadow.
I Am Worthless
I am worthless, yet when added to others I add worth.
I confounded the ancient Greeks, yet I changed men’s understanding.
What am I?
0 (Zero).
Zero is nothing, yet when you add zeroes to a number like 1, it becomes 10, 100 or 1,000.
The ancient Greeks did not have a name for zero and did not use a placeholder. They seemed unsure about the status of zero as a number, philosophizing about how nothing could be something. Once zero was added, it allowed for more mathematical understanding.
Four Letters and a Fruit or Vegetable
I have four letters in my name,
I am a fruit or a vegetable,
I look like a giant green onion,
I end with the letter k.
What am I?
The leek. It has four letters, has been considered both a fruit and a vegetable, looks like a green onion and ends with the letter k.
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.
