A House With No Doors
I am in a house with no doors. There are people inside but give no reply. Who am I?
A fish. A fish bowl or aquarium is the fish’s house and the people inside are the decorative divers that offer no reply (one might ask how the fish knows, given that they aren’t a talkative bunch themselves).
Humans and Animals
I am important to both human beings and animals. Both search for me but it is hard to find me. I travel to benefit them. What am I?
A scent or smell. A scent is important to both humans and animals and both search for scents (for different reasons). A scent travels through the air to benefit humans and animals, again, for different reasons.
Special thanks to Vavessa for the answer to this one.
A Four Word Admonition
What four word admonition makes the happy person sad and the sad person happy?
The phrase, “This too shall pass.” According to Wikipedia, the well-known phrase is often attached to a fable of a great king who is humbled by these words, and to someone who is experiencing something wonderful, it can be saddening. But to one who is in the pits of despair, it is a phrase that brings relief and hope.
In other words, if a happy person is told, “This too shall pass” it will make them sad. But to a person on hard times, hearing, “This too shall pass” will cheer them up.
