I am not alive, but I grow; I don't have lungs, but I need air; I don't have a mouth; water kills me. What am I?
fire
I make two people out of one. What am I?
A mirror
My life can be measured in hours. I serve by being consumed. Thin - I'm quick. Fat, I'm slow. Wind is my foe. What am I?
A candle
This is lighter than a feather, yet you cannot hold it for long. What is it?
Your breath
The more you take away, the larger I become. What am I?
A hole
I have two hands but I can't scratch myself. What am I?
A clock
Always in you, sometimes on you. If I surround you, I can kill you. What am I?
water
I have no feet, no hands, no wings, no air balloon, but I climb to the sky. What am I?
smoke
I have a little house in which I live all alone. It has no doors or windows. If I want to go out, I must break through the wall. What am I?
A chick in an egg
You use a knife to slice my head and weep beside me when I'm dead. What am I?
An onion
Until I'm measured I am not known. Yet how you miss me when I have flown! What am I?
time
Four fingers and a thumb, yet flesh and blood. I have none. What am I?
A glove
You answer me. although I never ask you questions. What am I?
A telephone
I am wet when I am drying. What am I?
A towel
A slender body, a tiny eye. No matter what happens, I never cry. What am I?
A needle
I pass before the sun, yet make no shadow. What am I?
The wind
