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.
