Riddle: What flies around all day but never goes anywhere?
Answer: Flag
Need a hint?
You’ll see one outside town halls and schools, flapping in the wind.
Answer and explanation (spoiler!)
The answer is a flag.
We say a flag “flies” when it flaps in the wind. It can fly all day long, but it stays tied to its pole and never goes anywhere.
The riddle uses “flies” like a bird or plane, when it means waving in the breeze.
