Guides travelers, never moves,
Always turning, never looks,
Always shining, never burns,
Looks on blue fields with each of its turns.

Fill my bucket, please
Fill my bucket, spill my bucket,
over a plane of snow.
Black the track as I look back,
my footsteps talk but make no sound.
What am I? What am I?
over a plane of snow.
Black the track as I look back,
my footsteps talk but make no sound.
What am I? What am I?

Some old riddles
Riddle 1:
Little trotty hetty coat
in a long petticoat
and a red nose
the longer she stands
the shorter she grows.
RIDDLE 2:
The land was white
the seed was black
it'll take a good scholar
to riddle me that.
RIDDLE 3
Riddle me! riddle me! What is that:
Over your head and under your hat?
RIDDLE 4
George walked for thirty minutes in the pouring rain without getting a single hair on his head wet. He didn't have a hat or an umbrella and his coat had no hood. How did he do that?
I'm going to count this as my Sunday puzzle/riddle, so we'll be back on schedule on Monday when I post the answer to these four.
