Two men buy two horses
They bring them home and battle over who will get which horse
They decide, and then they think about how they will tell them apart.
One man says "Well, to tell the difference I will plait my horses tail"
He does this and they both leave.
The next day they come back and both tails are plaited.
"Well" says one of the guys.
"I'll will plait my horses mane as well to tell the difference".
They do this and go away.
The next day both of the horses manes are plaited.
"Right" says one guy. " I will burn a pattern in my horse"
He does this and goes away.
Again the next day both horses have patterns.
One guy says "What should we do? Everything we do to tell
the difference repeats its self onto the other horse!What
should we do?"
They sit and think.
"Well" one guy says."Maybe"
"You have the black one and I'll have the white one"
