Long Water

I am a body of water. I am long. I go from here to there. There is a riddle about me. Read what I can do. Can you guess who I am?

I am big. I am bigger than a stream. I have lot of water. My water is used for drinking. They say I always run. I never walk. My water moves from here to there. They say I flow.

I have a mouth. But I never eat. I can't even talk. You hear the sound when I flow. I move soil and small rocks. I help move logs of wood. I do so much work but I don't have hands.

I have a bed. But I don't sleep. I am always awake. I am always moving. I make soil. I make valleys. My water is sweet.

Let me tell you again. I have no legs but I can run. I can't eat or talk but I have a mouth. I have a long bed but I never sleep. I have a bank but there is no money in it. Did you guess who am I?

A river! I am a river. Do you know some names I have?
