Q. I have no ears, but more than one eye,
Cut me in half, I won't cry,
Leave me alone and I will die.
What am I ?
A. A potato. The roots growing out of a potato are called eyes, when you cut a potato in half it doesn't produce any moisture and if you leave a poor potato to its own devices, it will die.
Q. I am a wonderful help to women,
The hope of something to come.
I harm no citizen except my slayer.
Rooted I stand on a high bed. I am shaggy below.
Sometimes the beautiful peasant's daughter, an eager-armed,
Proud woman grabs my body,
Rushes my red skin, holds me hard,
Claims my head. The curly-haired
Woman who catches me fast will feel
Our meeting. Her eye will be wet.
What am I ?
A. An onion. Onions help add flavor to meals, they make the person who cuts them cry and they grow hair downtown.
