    By day they are lost without being stolen.

    Second Riddle

    I live for laughter,
    I live for the crowd,
    Without it I am nothing.

    Third Riddle

    Face like a tree,
    Skin like the sea,
    A great beast I be,
    Yet vermin frighten me!

    Template:HiddenAnswer

    Fourth Riddle

    I tolerate the moon and stars,
    I can't abide the sun,
    Banish me with torch light
    And you'll see me turn and run.
