RIDDLE-ME-REE
My first is in apple, but not in peach: My second is in river, but not in beach. My third is in tiny, but not in large; My fourth is in steamer, but not in barge. My fifth is in live, but not in dead; My sixth is in metal, but not in lead. My seventh is in tenant, but not in house; My eighth is in hedgehog, but not in mouse. My ninth is in month, but not in week; My tenth is in hunt, but not in seek. My eleventh is in log, but not in tree; My twelfth is in thirty, also in three. My thirteenth is in tied, but not in free; My whole is a winged being, much loved by children. —Beth Martin (aged 12).
