What Survives a Huge Fall but Dies in Water …Riddle of the Day
Here’s a clever riddle that sounds dramatic at first, but the answer turns out to be surprisingly simple.
Take a moment and read it slowly:
“You can drop me from the tallest building and I will be fine.
But if you drop me in water, I die.
What am I?”
At first glance, it feels like the answer must be something strong or indestructible. After all, surviving a fall from the tallest building sounds impossible for most things.
So your mind might start guessing things like:
Metal
Rubber
A feather
Something extremely light or durable
But the second line changes everything.
“If you drop me in water, I die.”
That word “die” is the key clue. It suggests we’re talking about something that can be alive in a sense, but can also be extinguished or stopped.
So what could survive falling through the air but be destroyed by water?
Let’s think about it.
