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?

Thank you for help on the previous riddle.
Can anyone help me with one more riddle?  It has no soul, no life.  Yet it exists everywhere in this wide world.  It has no blood, no bones.  It caries comfrort to all the children on earth.
