Riddle:
Not a bird but I can fly through time; Hands moving, moments chime. What am I?
Answer: A clock.
"Not a bird but I can fly through time": This is a metaphorical use of "fly". A clock doesn't physically move through the air, but the passage of time is often described as "flying" (as in the saying, "time flies").
"Hands moving, moments chime": A clock typically has "hands" that move to indicate the time, and some clocks "chime" to mark the hour or specific intervals.
The riddle uses personification and metaphor to describe a clock's function in a creative way.
Riddle:
I act like a lamp, but I have the sound of a bee. What am I?
Answer: Bright.
It’s a wordplay riddle. A lamp is “bright,” and the “sound of a bee” is the letter “B.” Put them together: B + right → “bright.”
Riddle:
I am sweet and cold with a stick to hold; a treat on a hot day, worth more than gold. What am I?
Answer: Ice Cream.
Here's a breakdown of the clues: "I am sweet and cold": This directly describes the primary qualities of ice cream.
"with a stick to hold": This specifies a common way ice cream is served as a convenient handheld treat, often with a wooden stick.
"a treat on a hot day, worth more than gold": This highlights the refreshing and highly desirable nature of ice cream when the weather is hot.
Riddle:
Start at one and add one forever; I grow but never end. What am I?
Answer: Infinity.
It’s the process of counting: start at 1, then keep adding 1—2, 3, 4, and so on—without stopping.
The total “grows” because the number increases, but it “never ends” because there’s no largest number; you can always add one more.
Infinity is not a specific number, but rather a concept representing something without any bound or end, perfectly matching the description in the riddle.
