Riddle #95

By Jane Austen

Question: When my first is a task to a young girl of spirit,
And my second confines her to finish the piece,
How hard is her fate! But how great is her merit
If by taking my whole she effects her release!

Great website with great riddles, thanks for producing them all and keep it up!\n\nJust a question, could you perhaps add pictures or something with your questions? It makes it a little bit easier to read and relate, think you will attract more viewers that way. For example on this site they do it: http://www.hardcoreriddles.com/riddles/hard-riddles-with-answers/

Question: I live in water, but not in the same place. Sometimes it’s drinkable and other times it's not. I am either a hunter or gatherer. I am known for being gentle and easy, but I don’t live long. You will know me by my large eyes and goofy lips. People know me by my slimy body. I can be found in your house or out in the wild but never in between. I am friendly so I will likely be your friend in school. What am I?
