Riddle

A beggar's brother died, but the dead man had no brother. How is this possible?

Choose an answer

A.The dead man was an only child
B.It was a different beggar
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 female, a sister, so the dead man, her brother, correctly has no brother of his own.
