I slip through cracks, creep under doors, and walk where you stand.
You welcome me when it’s hot, and seal me out when it’s cold.

I have told the stories of the world but have no voice.
What am I?
A Book.
I can be written, spoken, broken, and made,
Yet I weigh nothing but shape every trade.
What am I?
👉 A Promise.
The more you remove me, the more I grow,
Yet when you add to me, I shrink below.

Remove one letter and twelve remains.
What am I?
👉 The word is “Dozens”.
