"Riddles 3" are three triolets, each a different and unrelated riddle, each harder than the previous, NO hidden or trick answers , just straight deductive reasoning...All that respond, I will email the answers to.

Riddle I

Can someone tell me what this be?
It's hot, it's cold, it comes , it goes.
It can't be bought, it must be free.
Can someone tell me what this be?
It's here, it's there, for all to see.
It brings you joy, it brings you woes.
Can someone tell me what this be?
It's hot, it's cold, it comes , it goes.

Was that too easy? It should be!
Yes? No?...Then try II


Riddle II

It brings us gifts so sweet, I'll say,
With unseen hand, what could it be?
It likes to tease, and hide, and play.
It brings us gifts so sweet, I'll say,
It's work you can see every day,
And every where, for all to see.
It brings us gifts so sweet, I'll say,
With unseen hand, what could it be?

OK, you got both?..No?..well try III either way

Riddle III

This is a must for most of us.
It's everything, what might it be?
You can't look and not see it thus.
This is a must for most of us.
Can't see? Then look inside, don't cuss!
It's there! For most all to see.
This is a must for most of us.
It's everything, what might it be?

hmmmmm!...get them all? No? Some?
Look to your email for the answers.. SB
