He asked Cybert to bring him something to eat, something to drink, something to feed the pig and something that would grow a crop, all contained in one item. What did Cybert bring his father?

No, and no. Although airport equipment had something to do with it.

Sorry for the double post and bumping, but I think we have all given up on AlphaTauri's riddle, and maybe would like another.

I would like to know the answers...
Anyways, heres one from one of my favorite games, Professor Layton and the Curious Village. Not a direct quote, but the same riddle.

Two aliens are hovering over the Earth, observing humans. They see a human performing a strange task. One of the aliens turns to the other and says "How odd! That human is using a tool to make a hole in a sheet of paper, and then is drawing a line to show the other humans where the hole is!"

What tool is the human using? Remember that even the simplest of tasks would appear strange and foreign to something that has never seen it before, like aliens.
