Care to solve a riddle?



In Ursula LeGuin's fantasy novel A Wizard of Earthsea, characters are tasked with solving riddles.  As part of this unit, students followed in the Anglo-Saxon tradition of writing and sharing riddles.  Each riddle needed to describe an ordinary object or something from nature.  Moreover, students needed to include a kenning.  Up for a challenge?  See if you can solve the riddles below.
