This riddle seems to be a bit too much for most people. I'll give you an easier one.



They can be harbored, but few hold water,
You can nurse them, but only by holding them against someone else,
You can carry them, but not with your arms,
You can bury them, but not in the earth.

That makes it easy. I would not have guessed from the riddle.

I'm pretty clueless about any, but I'll try again on a better day. Today was not good.
