The Riddles

First Riddle

At night they come without being fetched;
By day they are lost without being stolen.

Second Riddle

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

Template:HiddenAnswer

Third Riddle

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

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.

Development
