I cover mattresses to keep them clean, musicians read me to play a song, and a ghost wears me to go trick-or-treating. What am I?
A sheet
This riddle relies on the multiple meanings of the word 'sheet.' Beds use bed sheets as fitted linen, musicians read sheet music to follow musical notes, and classic Halloween ghost costumes are made from a plain white sheet. Putting all three clues together reveals the single word that fits every context.
