A Marble Hall

Question: In a marble hall as white as milk, Lined with skin as soft as silk, Within a fountain crystal clear, A golden orb does appear, There are no doors to this stronghold, Yet thieves break in and steal the gold. What am I?

Question: What tastes better than it smells?

Question: What goes in the water black and comes out red?

Question: What asks but never answers?

Question: What can be broken but never forgotten?

Question: You are trying to get your chicken, fox, and wheat to the barn. However, the barn is on the other side of the river. You are on a boat and can only transport one animal or wheat at a time. You must choose carefully not to leave the wrong two together, though. It's either the fox will eat the chicken or the chicken will eat the wheat. How do you take each thing across safely?
