Answer:
Though I am only two words I have thousands of letters in me
I am higher than the king. What am I ?
I am the only thing that place today before yesterday. (one word)
Face with a tree skin like the sea. A great beast I am. Yet vermin frightens me.
When you take away the whole from me there is always some left.
I am rarely touched but often held. If you are smart you'll use me well. What am I?
