Riddle of the Day

[Gizmokid2005]

Black I am and much admired,
men seek me until they're tired.
When they find me, they break my head,
and take from me my resting bed.


What am I?

ANSWER (Congrats Heylinder!): Coal.

NEXT RIDDLE:

Of no use to one
Yet absolute bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing.
The young man has to lie for it.
The old man has to buy it.
The baby's right,
The lover's privilege,
The hypocrite's mask.
To the young girl, faith;
To the married woman, hope;
To the old maid, charity.

What am I?
