I fly without wings, I cry without eyes. What am I?

Clouds

Why this works

This riddle cleverly plays with the characteristics of clouds. The phrase "I fly without wings" refers to how clouds drift through the sky, seemingly flying, but they obviously do not have wings like birds. Meanwhile, "I cry without eyes" describes how clouds produce rain; they release water droplets as if they are crying, yet they don't have eyes like living creatures. This dual imagery creates a whimsical way to describe the nature of clouds!

Common Wrong Answers

“Bird”

Birds fly with wings and have eyes, which contradicts the clues in the riddle.

“Airplane”

Airplanes fly but are not capable of crying, as they are machines, not living entities.

“Rain”

Rain can be associated with crying, but it does not fly; it falls from the clouds.
