9. # 8 As small as your thumb, I'm the light in the air. You may hear me before you see me, but trust me I'm there
10. # 9 Never resting, never stationary; it moves silently from valley to valley; does not walk, run or trot; everything is fresh where it is not
11. # 10 I make my burrow out of threads and get rid of my prey with a poisonous bite

13. # 12 Some try to hide it, others to cheat; but time will show, we will always meet. Try to guess my name, I promise you will know when I come to claim you
