O, beloved apple-of-the-earth, Born in darkness, Brought to light at your end You're a hardy specimen Able to tough out the cold And brave the heat of the day O beloved, you are loved by many A staple around the world

First: symbolises your nation. Second: is found north and south. Combined we stand proud, holding First in jubilation.

I guard your toes from mud and rain, March through puddles without complaint. On farms I rule, in armies too, Sometimes I’m kicked when dreams fall through. What am I?

I hold your steps together each day, or speak of budgets stretched to fray. Pulled through holes, I twist and brace what am I you tie in place?

I’ll cook your food for you Just give me some time to do so based on what you want me to cook Do not put metal inside me Or bad things will happen
