1. Reflection: It’s fascinating how echoes can “speak” without having a mouth
and “hear” without ears. And when the wind carries the sound, the echo comes
alive.

2. Reflection: It’s taken from a mine (graphite mine), shut up in a wooden case
(pencil box) and used by almost every person

3. Reflection: Your future is always ahead of you, but you can’t see it because it
hasn’t happened yet.

4. Reflection: Maps have cities marked on them, but no actual houses. They show
forests, but no individual trees, and rivers but no actual water.

beating heart like a living creatures do.

6. Reflection: Jokes can be cracked (as in telling a joke), made (as in telling a
joke) and played (as in sharing a joke with others).

7. Reflection: A piano is full of keys, but those keys are used to create beautiful
melodies and music, not to open locks.

8. Reflection: A coin has a head side and a tail side, but it doesn’t have a body.

9. Reflection: Clocks have face with numbers or markings, but it doesn't frown.
The hands on a clock move but don’t wave. And even though a clock doesn’t
have a mouth, it can “speak” by telling the time.

10. Reflection: Fire is always hungry for fuel; it needs to be fed with wood or
other combustible materials. And if you touch fire with your finger, it can make
your finger turn red and even burn.
