Help me answer the fourth riddle when trying to get an apple from the girl having a picnic.
The riddle is "A stalk of the living, I nothing said. Dumb, stand waiting to join the dead. I have risen before and will rise again. Though plunderers carve and split my skin. Bite through my bare body, shear my head. Hold me hard in a slicing bed I don't bite a man uless he bites me. But the number who bite is many. What am I? Does any one know the answer and can give me a better clue?
