mr Grant summoned the waiter and said, "theres a fly in my stew you idiot! i demand a new bowl. Dont try too fool me by removing the fly and returning the same bowl!" The waiter retreated to the kitchen, removed the fly, and returned the same bowl of stew, assuring mr Grant that it was a fresh one. Minutes later an outraged mr Grant called the waiter over and exclaimed, "how dare you try to fool me! this is the same bowl of stew!" how could mr Grant have known?
Could be the man had put salt and pepper on the stew and when it came back it was already seasoned
Or he dropped a penny in the first bowl and it was still there.
one is right ..... but what one don1??
It could be so many things. maybe he saw residue on the brim of the bowl before the waiter took it away. then he saw it after, too many choices.
