Maria and the Pot
One day Maria borrowed a pot from her neighbour Lucia. The next day she brought it back with another little pot inside. "That's not mine," said Lucia. "Yes, it is," said Maria. "While your pot was staying with me, it had a baby."

Some time later Maria asked Lucia to lend her a pot again. Lucia agreed, hoping that she would once again receive two pots in return. However, days passed and Maria had still not returned the pot. Finally Lucia lost patience and went to demand her property. "I am sorry," said Maria. "I can't give you back your pot, since it has died." "Died!" screamed Luciai, "how can a pot die?" "Well," said Maria, "you believed me when I told you that your pot had had a baby."
