My life can be measured in hours, I serve by being devoured. Thin, I am quick Fat, I am slow Wind is my foe.
What am I?
Also known as: Little Nancy Etticoat, In a white petticoat, The longer she stands, The shorter she grows. A riddle from my Mother Goose Book.
Nowadays the petticoat may be many-coloured, of course, and Nancy may even be wearing perfume.
Correct :-)
