Answer:
I have hands but cannot clap. What am I?
In wealth I abound; in water I stand; as a fencer I'm valued all over the land; at Venice I'm famous; by farmers I'm prized; respected by law yet huntsmen despised; consternation and ruin ensue when I break; And the beasts of the forest advantage won't take.
Cloud is my mother. Wind is my father. I come down but never go up. What am I?
Two in a whole and four in a pair. Six in a trio you see. Eight's a quartet but what you must get is the name that fits just one of me.
I have thirteen hearts but no body or soul.
No matter how little or how much you use me, you change me every month.
