Riddles are like puzzles that play with our thinking. When you hear a riddle, it sounds simple, but then your brain has to work harder to figure out the answer. People love them because they feel smart when they solve one! Imagine if someone said, 'I have no voice, but I speak to you.' What could that be? A riddle makes us think in fun and clever ways.
Examples
- A boy says, 'I am a brother to three sisters, but I have no brothers.' What's going on? The answer is he is the brother of all the girls, but he has no brothers because they are only his sisters.
- 'What gets wetter as it dries?', The answer is a towel!
- A riddle says: 'I am not alive, but I can grow. I don't have lungs, but I need air.' What could that be? A fire.
