రాయి కాని రాయి

వివరణ

This riddle plays on the Telugu word 'kiraayi' (rent/lease), which sounds like 'kii-rayi' (stone that is not stone). The answer cleverly exploits the homophonic similarity—rent is metaphorically 'a stone that isn't actually a stone' because it's an intangible payment/burden extracted regularly, much like how one would extract stones.
