'When young, I am sweet in the sun. When middle-aged, I make you gay.

When old, I am valued

more than ever. What am I' ---- Wine

'Three lives have I, gentle enough to soothe the skin, light enough to caress the sky, or hard
enough to shatter stone. What am I?' --- Water

'I’m always hungry, and must be fed always, lest I flicker away. Yet I will always bite the hand that
feeds me, if it touches me. What am I?' --- Fire

'I am black of eye and bright of hair and my feet are firmly in the ground. I love the sun upon my
face and I follow it around. When I am dead and gone, I will droop real low, that I will keep the
birds well fed, standing still there in my row. What am I?' -- A Sunflower
