An Eye In a Blue Face
An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
“That eye is like to this eye”
Said the first eye,
“But in low place,
Not in high place.”
A daisy in the grass. The big eye is the sun.
This is from J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit.
A House With No Doors
I am in a house with no doors. There are people inside but give no reply. Who am I?
A fish. A fish bowl or aquarium is the fish’s house and the people inside are the decorative divers that offer no reply (one might ask how the fish knows, given that they aren’t a talkative bunch themselves).
In School Without Learning
I’m in school without learning,
And control from the middle.
What am I?
A fish. They swim in schools and the fish in the middle of a school control the school. The fish on the outside are guided by those in the middle.
Buried Alive and Dug Up Dead
You bury me when I’m alive, and dig me up when I’m dead. What am I?
A plant.
