  1. The answer for the first is a towel. The answer for the second riddle is a newspaper. I think the answer for the third, is a sponge. The answer for the fourth riddle is a cold. One of my favorite riddles is, "I am alive without breath. I am as cold as death. I am never thirsty and ever drinking. What am I?"

  4. I have a riddle though here it is:
    I come in different shapes and sizes. Part of me are curves, others are straight. You can put me anywhere you like, but there is only one right place for me.
    What am I?
    There was a green house.
    Inside the green house there was a white house
    Inside the white house there was a red house.
    Inside the red house there were lots of babies What Am I?
    I never was, am always to be,
    No one ever saw me, nor ever will
    And yet I am the confidence of all
    To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball
    Who Am I?
    A time when they’re green, a time when they’re brown,
    But both of these times, cause me to frown.
    But just in between, for a very short while,
    They’re perfect and yellow, and cause me to smile!
    What am I talking about here?
    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.
    What is it
    I can sizzle like bacon,
    I am made with an egg,
    I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg,
    I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole,
    I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole,
    What am I?
    I cannot be felt, seen or touched;
    Yet I can be found in everybody;
    My existence is always in debate;
    Yet I have my own style of music.
    What Am I?
    That is it go on pvlearners and tell me the answers if you want or don't you could just tell me at school!!!!!!
