Riddles

Hi everybody
Riddles are a kind of entertainment for our brain. Some of them are very easy and the others are complex and need more intelligence and intention to understand the meaning.
In my opinion, they can also be used to enrich our knowledge and vocabulary as regards training languages.
Thereby, to stimulate your brain I propose these easy riddles:
1- A doctor and a boy were fishing. The boy was the doctor's son, but the doctor was not the boy's father. Who was the doctor?
2- Almost everyone needs it, asks for it, gives it, but almost nobody takes it. What is it?
3- At this moment everyone in the world is doing the same thing. What is it?
4- You can have me but cannot hold me; Gain me and quickly lose me. If treated with care I can be great, And if betrayed I will break. What am I?
Enjoy your time

I'm anable to give any answer to the 2 first one, however, here are my propositions for the two last one.

3- At this moment everyone in the world is doing the same thing. What is it?
=> Breathing.

4- You can have me but cannot hold me; Gain me and quickly lose me. If treated with care I can be great, And if betrayed I will break. What am I?

For the first one, is the doctor the boy's grand-father?
