Answer: Solve this Mind-Twister Riddle Before the Clock Hits 9 Seconds

A river is the solution to the riddle.

 A river is "always running" because it constantly flows, but it does not walk like a living thing. It has a "bed," referring to the riverbed, its channel, but it does not sleep. A river has a "mouth," or the point at which it empties into another body of water, such as a sea or lake.

 But a river does not eat. Rivers are essential for life. They shape landscapes, sustain human, animal and crop life, and support ecosystems. The riddle is playing with these features in a poetic way.
