Riddles wanted!!

Riddle me this, riddle me that.

Hi. I've always been interested in riddles. I think it helps one (me) to excercise my mind and to try and think "out of the box".
My neurologist said it might be helpful if I tried to learn riddles as it may help to stimulate parts of my mind that are damaged right now. So I figured why not.
So, quite simply im asking for riddles and if for some reason its not figured out. I would like the answer unless, of course, you feel that you don't want to provide the answer.
I'll start it off in the first response.
thanks

Once there was a king. A great king in a great land. A warrior, a poet, a scholar, an artist, a musician.
This ruler was a jack of all trades. This grand king collected weaons of purest gold and silver, set with gems and precious stones.
This grand king collected ancient scrolls of poetry, and ancient gold-leafed texts. This grand king collected masterpieces of paint and stone. This grand king wanted only that which was grandest of all. Treasure. Gold, gemstones, silver, anything of value.

His throne and castle were adorned with every imaginable treasure man could find and minipulate.
This king died and they burried him in but a copper coffin.
For all of his treasure, why did they bury him in but a copper coffin?

They buried him because he was dead.
lol, I didn't make it up, it is an actual riddle I once read. I couldn't figure it out, but luckily they answered it in the novel.
