2. Guess the riddles.

Although my center contains lead
Fill me up with metal
a It isn’t very tough.
And so you need to sharpen it And let me do my thing
b
In order to draw stuff. Get some sheets of paper
I’ll have them attaching

If you have lots of paper

I am a household item
c And need to keep it neat.
d But I am not a clock.
Then use me to make the holes
I’m something that beats paper
So binders can hold each sheet.
But I’m beaten by rock.
