A sailor on a ship heard a voice in the middle of the night. The voice said a riddle, 'I have no eyes, yet I cry. I have no wings, yet I fly. I have no teeth, yet I bite. What am I?'

Sure. Here is one. There was a kingdom where a strange law existed. A man was locked in a room with two doors. One door led to freedom and the other to death. There were two guards, one in front of each door. One guard always told the truth and the other always lied. The man could only ask one question to one guard. He thought for a while and then asked one guard, 'If I were to ask the other guard which door leads to freedom, what would he say?' The guard he asked replied. Then the man was able to figure out which door was the right one.
