Some students this week have been asking me if I knew any riddles, so here you go.\u00a0 Mind you, they are not ones I have made up myself (found at Riddles.com\/frenchtoday.com) but fun nonetheless!<\/h4>\n

1. I am not alive, but I grow; I don’t have lungs, but I need air; I don’t have a mouth, but water kills me. What am I?<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 I am something people love or hate. I change peoples appearances and thoughts. If a person takes care of them self I will go up even higher. To some people I will fool them. To others I am a mystery. Some people might want to try and hide me but I will show. No matter how hard people try I will Never go down. What am I?<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Je traverse les vitres sans les casser, qui suis-je ?<\/p>\n
