I.字谜:
1) There is a thing that is the first to pity and the last to help.
2) I am the beginning of sorrow, and the end of sickness. You cannot express happiness without me;
yet I am in the midst of crosses.
I am always in risk, yet never in danger.
You may find me in the sun,
but I am never out of darkness.
3) My first is nothing but a name;
My second still more small;
My whole of so much smaller fame,
It has no name at all.
