Answer:
My snake-like body cracks and burns. I cause pain but pleasure too. What am I?
I can be cracked, made, told, and played. What am I?
Brown I am and much admired; many horses have I tried; tire a horse and worry a man; tell me this riddle if you can.
Whoever makes it, tells it not. Whoever takes it, knows it not. Whoever knows it, wants it not. What am I?
I am all around you but you cannot see me. I have no throat but you can hear me. Valued during summer but despised in the winter.
How do you know if a sniper likes you?
