Answer:
Whatβs black in the morning, red in the afternoon, and white at night?
I'm tall in the morning and short in the noon. I disappear at night but I will be back soon.
I sleep by day, I fly by night. I have no feathers to aid my flight.
A horrid monster hides from the day, with many legs and many eyes. With silver chains it catches prey. And eats it all before it dies. Yet in every cottage does it stay. And every castle beneath the sky.
It regulates our daily movements, but it feels no interest in our lives. It directs us when to come and go, but does not care if we pay attention. What is it?
A leathery snake, with a stinging bite. I'll stay coiled up, unless I must fight.
