This classic riddle sounds like it must be describing an animal or a person:
“What can run but has no legs?”
The trick is to think about the word “run” in a different way. Something doesn’t need feet to move quickly from one place to another.
Water can run from a faucet, flow down a stream, or rush along a river without ever taking a single step.
Once you stop thinking about running as something done with legs, the answer becomes much easier.
Answer: Water.
