Here is a classic riddle that sounds mysterious because it asks you to think beyond spoken words: What has no voice, but can still tell you a story?
Many things can communicate without speaking, including photographs and paintings, but the traditional answer points to something people have used to share stories for centuries.
Answer: A book.
A book has no voice of its own, yet the words on its pages can tell stories, describe people and places, preserve memories, and take a reader into an entirely different world. The “voice” comes alive in the reader’s mind, which is what makes this simple riddle work so well.
