Riddle

A beggar's brother died, but the man who died had no brother. How could that be?

Choose an answer

A.The beggar had no siblings
B.It was a different family
C.The beggar lied
D.The beggar was his sister!
Hint: It's a 5-word phrase with 21 letters, starting with "T".

Answer

The beggar was his sister!

Why this is the answer

The beggar is actually female, so the deceased man's only sibling was a sister, not a brother, meaning technically he had no brother.
