Riddle: Brad stared through the dirty soot-smeared window on the 22nd floor of the office tower. Overcome with depression he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop outside the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. Since there was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, how could he have survived the fall?
Answer: Brad was so sick and tired of window washing, he opened the window and jumped inside.

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.
