I flew to africa bought a dog riddle

Riddle: I flew to Africa I bought a dog I bought a phone case I flew back what did I buy first?

Answer: When you fly to Africa and buy a phone and a dog, the answer to your question is actually very simple.

It was said that the phone and the dog were taken to mislead you in the question. Maybe you can wonder if it’s a phone or a dog.

But the answer to this question is neither the phone nor the dog.

If we go to the very beginning of the journey, the first thing we need to buy to get on the plane is a flight ticket.
So the correct answer to our question is a flight ticket.
