. THE KING AND THE ALCHEMIST
One day, centuries ago, an alchemist brought a small bottle to the king. "This bottle," said he, "holds a liquid so powerful that it will instantly dissolve anything it touches." How did the king know the man was lying? __________________
BETSY AND PATSY
"We were born on the same day of the same year," said Betsy.
"And we have the same mother and father," said Patsy.
"But we’re not twins," said Betsy.
Can you explain?

THE
PURPLE PARROT
"I guarantee," said the salesman in the pet shop, "that this purple parrot will repeat every word it hears." A customer bought the bird, but found that the parrot wouldn’t speak a single word. Nevertheless, what the salesman said was true. How could this be? _________________________________
