Riddle: An orange fell from a tree at the top of a hill and rolled for a very long time all of a sudden it stopped while still part way down the hill. Why did it stop?
Riddle: What grows but never gets taller, shrinks but never gets smaller, hurts the minds of men, doesn't live, but doesn't have a deathbed?
Answer: SOUND. Sound grows and shrinks but, realistically, doesn't do either. Can hurt ears and the brain at certain frequencies. Doesn't live and isn't dead.
