My first is in shake, but not in shiver. My second is in lake, but not in river. My third is in sand, but not in dirt. My fourth is in band, but not in girt. My fifth is in ark, but not in ship. My sixth is in mud, but not in drip. My seventh is in arrow, but not in quiver. My whole is the name of a State and a river.
In farming. To place. A fruit. A boy's toy. In farming.
I am a familiar proverb composed of 26 letters. My 9, 16, 22, 2, 6, 18, 20 is what most children like. My 13, 4, 5 is a measure. My 12, 24, 11, 21 is a certain time of day. My 26, 10, 1, 8 lives in wild forests. My 17, 3, 19, 25, 13 is a useful animal. My 23, 15, 7, 14, 22 is a Southern fruit.
My first on days of festival Clear, gay, and loud is heard; My second grudges others' good; To state a truth my third; And of my tuneful fourth of old A wild and wondrous tale was told.
My first is in spider, not in fly. My second is in cloud, but not in sky. My third is in donkey, not in mule. My fourth is in guide, but not in rule. My fifth is in idle, not in busy. My sixth is in fainting, not in dizzy. My seventh is in ugly, not in sinner. My whole is part of a good dinner.
