Can you guess who or what I am
from these clues? Even better, what
is my name in your favorite Warm
Springs Language?
(1) I am twice the number of legs that a dog has.
(2) I have many names and run to and from many places. I am a
source of water to any who visit upon my shore. I divide
Washington and Oregon; I divide part of Oregon and Idaho, and I
am in countless other places across the state, the nation, and the
world.
(3) I have five toes, wear socks all the time, and people use me to
walk around. Everybody usually has two of me and I only get to
rest when people "kick their feet up".
(4) I am the color of dark soil and the color of a moonless night.
People seem intimidated by me but I am happy nevertheless
because I have a little bit of every color in mel
(5) I am an animal that lives by ponds and lakes. I am usually
mxshpyatpoohedapc&x and enjoy sticking my tongue out at
people from lillipads.
(6) I am a place frequented by children all across this land.
Teachers work within my walls throughout the day and talk about ,
reading, writing, math, and science. The week-ends my only days
of quiet.
