When I was about 5, my favorite uncle (who had 2 horses) told me that he also had a green horse named "Old Green." (One of his other horses was named "Old Red"). At first I did not believe him, but then he explained to me that the reason I never saw Old Green was that he was shy and stayed at the far end of the pasture all the time. He had me totally convinced. Later, I was telling my Dad about Old Green. My Dad told me that Uncle A was just teasing me. And I told him, "Well, maybe Uncle A knows something you don't!"
