3) For some I go fast
for others I'm slow.

1) Tom and his younger sister were fighting. Their mother was tired of the fighting, and decided to punish them by making them stand on the same piece of newspaper in such a way that they couldn't touch each other.
How did she accomplish this?

2) I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils
O red fruit, Ivory, fine timber!
The loaf's big with it's yeasty rising
Money's new minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples
Boarded the train there's no getting off.

Destro and Misty solves 1 each.

1) The more you take,
the more you leave behind.
What are they?

2) Walk on the living, they don't even mumble. Walk on the dead, they mutter and grumble.
What are they?
