I can fly but have no wings. I can cry but I have no eyes. Wherever I go, darkness follows me. What am I?

Clouds

Why this works

This riddle plays on the descriptive qualities of clouds using metaphorical language. "I can fly but have no wings" refers to how clouds float in the sky, appearing to move freely without needing wings. The phrase "I can cry but I have no eyes" alludes to rain, as clouds release water but obviously lack eyes to cry with. Finally, "wherever I go, darkness follows me" highlights how clouds can block sunlight, creating shadows and darkness beneath them. Thus, the answer, clouds, perfectly encapsulates all these characteristics!

Common Wrong Answers

“Birds”

Birds have wings and can indeed fly, but they do not fit the other clues in the riddle, such as crying without eyes or darkness following them.

“Airplanes”

Airplanes can fly but they are man-made objects and do not cry or have a natural association with darkness following them.

“Rain”

Rain can be associated with crying, but it does not fly and does not fit the description of darkness following it as clouds do.
