What Am I?Answer
Take off my skin, I won't cry, but you will.
I am tall when I'm new and short when I'm old I give off my own light but cannot turn it on.
Take one out and scratch my head, I am now black but once was red.
You can see me in water but I never get wet.
No legs have I to dance, No lungs have I to breathe, No life have I to live or die And yet I do all four.
I am full of holes, yet I am full of water.
From the beginning of eternity, to the end of time and space, to the beginning of every end and the end of every place.
I am lighter than a feather yet no man can hold me for long.
I'm sometimes full, but I never overflow.
Only one color, but not one size. Stuck at the bottom, yet I easily fly. Present in sun, but not in rain. Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
I have not flesh nor feathers nor scales nor bone. Yet I have fingers and thumbs of my own.
I always run but never walk, often murmur but never talk, have a bed but never sleep, have a mouth but never eat.
I can bring a smile to your face, a tear to your eye or even a thought to your mind, but I can't be seen.
I am a three digit number. My second digit is four times more than my third digit. My first digit is seven less than my second digit.
The more there is of me the less you see.
Until I am measured, I am not known. Yet how you miss me, when I have flown.
The more you take of me, the more you end up leaving behind.
