Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
I am so little you can barely see me
I'm in everything you can see
When you touch stuff you feel me too
I'm in trees and houses and you
Look everywhere and you'll see me
And my sisters and brothers very free
You can make stuff out of me
Into clay pots, food, and tea
People make stuff out of this
Even on holidays and Christmas
If you know anything about me
Then you will be the one who speeds
If you chop my head off you will see a boy named Tom
If you chop my tail off then Japan is where you came from
Answer this correctly or I'll cry
So you won't..... Who am I?

Atom! Because if you chop off the first letter in atom, you will have tom, which is a name. Also if you chop the end of the word, then you will have ato, which is a Japanese word.Hide Answer Show Answer
