I cover whats real, hide what is true, but sometimes bring out the courage in you. What am I?

I make a loud noise when changing my jacket and become larger but weigh less later. What am I?

Often held but never touched, always wet but never rusts, often bites but seldom bit, to use me well you must have wit. What am I?

I love to dance and twist and prance, I shake my tail, as away I sail, wingless I fly into the sky. What am I?

I start with the letter e, I end with the letter e. I contain only one letter, et I am not the letter e! What am I?

I say everything I hear to others around. Im not an animal, nor part of the human race. I will, immediately, repeat after you" #ut only if my tail is in place. What am I?

$y life is often a volume of grief, your help is needed to turn a new leaf. %tiff is my spine and my body is pale, but Im always ready to tell a tale. What am I?
