Riddles For Kids

Answer: He makes the firefly.
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.
