I will give you a riddle, and you will solve it.

Simple, yes? Let's find out!

I was born in 1866 and died in 1943.

I was born into wealth and my parents kept me seperated from other children much of the time, which was ok because I had loads of pets.

My parents discouraged my intellectual development as a young woman, but my study and watercolors led to me being widely respected in the field of fungus.

I wrote many notable works, some of which I am sure you have read, or had read to you as a child. In total I have published a total of twenty-three books.

Who am I?

See? That wasn't so tough now, was it? Well done!

Try this one on for size:

I come in many forms and sizes.

Sometimes I am alone, but other times you can find me among others that share the same idea as I do.

Even though I can be alone, I am never truly alone, for where you find me there are others like me.

I am made up of many items, each called a "leaf". So are my friends.

What am I?

Ok, I admit it, I'm dumb. 

too much thinking for me :)

Lisa, there is no such thing as stupid...

**winks**

...And no, I'm not counting politicians!

I'll wait a little before I offer another clue, just to give more a chance to get this far!

DING! DING! DING!

Well done!

Now let's see who can solve this one:

You look at my kind every day.

You recognise most of us, but some of us are not familiar at times.

We come in many sizes and shapes; Most you recognise instantly, but not all of them.

Sometimes we make sense as we are, and other times more of us need to be together.

There are various forms of us in many different areas, some only fit in our areas, and others fit elsewhere.

There are a few people who actually have no clue what we are and need to be educated about us.

What are we?

hmmmmmmm............................ how about money$$$$$$$$ or $$$$$$$$$$$currency?

Although it's a good guess, neither money or currency are what I'm looking for.

Nice try though!
