This classic riddle makes you think about the many meanings of a familiar word. A tongue doesn’t always belong to someone who can speak.
The Answer
Answer: A shoe.
Many shoes have a tongue: the strip of material tucked underneath the laces that helps cover the top of the foot. A shoe may have a tongue, but it cannot say a word. That’s what makes this short old-fashioned riddle so fun.
