Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Did the girl open the windows of the room to see which flower turned to face the sun?

Sorry for going off track here, so many threads to keep up with these days - but my curiosity got the better of me - a lot of which, Markus?? Books?? Stabs in the dark?? Mental pictures?? :D
Looking forward to the answer to the new riddle :)

Daniella: She openned the window, to let in a bee, who landed only on the real flower.

Ok, I have got another riddle:
What has a mouth, but cannot speak?
What has bends, but has no curves?
What has a beginning, but has no end?
What has an end, but no beginning?
What can kill? What can save?

I've got one more...
The more you take away, the more you have.
What is the thing from which stuff is taken away?

I would guess that the more you take away, and the more you have is the air we breath.
