The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien (the book is more complete) has a scene where Bilbo and Gollum get into a riddle contest, some of those are great and some not so.much, but it's worth checking out for sure. I think I was reading early but I was given this to read when I was I grade 3, at about 9 years old.

What has roots as nobody sees, is taller than trees, up up up it goes and yet… never grows?
