A House Without a Door

Here’s a riddle from the book The Puzzler by A.J. Jacobs.

It’s supposedly translated from the Swahili.

And the riddle goes, I am a house without a door.

That’s it?

That’s it.

An egg?

Grant, how in the world did you get that?

I had all these clues ready to go, and I was going to lead you to the answer.

It reminds me of one in The Hobbit that Bilbo and Gollum tell each other.

It’s something like, a box with no lid inside a golden treasure is hid.

And the answer is an egg.

Oh, there you go.
