Shouldst this have been a modern day riddle I wouldst have had to accept your reply as correct but this be from olden days and as such should be answered as so. The correct answer be plow. 'Tis obvious there be a problem in such that these riddles be too easy, verily they were supposed to be delivered a piece at a time and thus that is how they shall be forthwith. |

I fear my time hast runneth over and I must away for a while, in my absence thee may wish to ponder on this My beak is bent downward, I burrow below; I grub in the ground and go as he guides, My gray, old master, foe of the forest. Stoop-shouldered my warder walks at my back, Fares through the field, urges and drives me, Sows in my track as I sniff along. Fetched from the wood, cunningly fitted, Brought in a wagon, I have wondrous skill. As I go my way on one side is green; On the other side plain is my dark path. Set through my back hangs a cunning spike; Another fixed forward is fast to my head. What I tear with my teeth falls to one side, If he handles me right who is my ruler. What am I? |

My house is not quiet, I am not loud; But for us God fashioned our fate together. I am the swifter, at times the stronger, My house more enduring, longer to last. A times I rest; my dwelling still runs; Within it I lodge as long as I live. Should we two be severed, my death is sure. What am I? |
