TRY THIS
Try this on a friend: “A mouse stele six ears of corn, and lie stored them up. But one day he rather suspected that another mouse wanted those ears of corn, so he decided to move them. “So he carried them to some other safe hiding place, and each journey he carried three ears. How many journeys did he take?” Without the slightest doubt youi friend will immediately say “Twc journeys.” But he’ll be wrong, anc you must teli him so, too. You set the mouse only carried one ear ol com at a time—the other two ear* were his own. So it took six journeys to carry the six ears of corn.
