• It’s a force of nature that’s always on the move.
• You might hear its gentle voice on a quiet day.
• Its path can be both straight and winding.

How To Solve This Puzzle

To unravel this riddle, consider the unique characteristics described:

• “Runs, but never walks”: This suggests constant motion without legs. What in nature moves continuously without stopping?
• “Murmurs, but never talks”: It makes soft, continuous sounds without actual speech. Think of natural elements that produce gentle, ongoing noises.
• “Has a bed, but never sleeps”: This implies a resting place that’s never used for rest. What in nature has a “bed” that serves a different purpose?
• “Has a mouth, but never eats”: It possesses an opening that doesn’t consume food. Consider natural features that have openings or endpoints.
