　　Once a neighbor stole one of Washington's horses. Washington went with a police officer to the neighbor's farm to get the horse, but the neighbor refused to give the horse up; he claimed that it was his horse.

　　Washington placed both of his hands over the eyes of the horse and said to the neighbor, “If this is your horse, then you must tell us in which eye he is blind.”

　　“In the right eye.”The neighbor said.

　　“Oh, I have made a mistake,” said the neighbor. “he is blind in the left eye.”
