- (continued from previous page)my birth I am as black as the night but your home make bright. When I burst into flames who will tell me my name - Coal
It eats and consumes itself and then it dies - A candle
I have ten little servants who work for me all day. They write and play and dress me too and oh! so quick are they. I have ten little servants who carry me about. They take me here and take me there whenever I go out - My fingers and toes.
We cover our heads when the cold winds blow. We cover our heads from frost and snow. Our coats are white, and yellow and blue, everyone knows what we are Do you? Flowers.
