She came back from the field, dust on her boots and a measuring tape still in her hand, looking both confused and slightly annoyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell?\u201d the farmer asked, leaning on the fence with a grin. \u201cDid that help?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She nodded slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes\u2026 it did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He raised an eyebrow. \u201cAnd?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She sighed. \u201cTurns out the white horse is two inches taller than the black one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The farmer blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a moment, he just stared at her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then he let out a loud laugh, nearly dropping his hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll that trouble,\u201d he said, shaking his head, \u201cand you never thought to notice their colors?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She crossed her arms, clearly proud of herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, you didn\u2019t say anything about colors! You told me to measure<\/em> them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The farmer chuckled. \u201cI figured that was the last thing you\u2019d need to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She looked back toward the field where the two horses stood peacefully, one clearly white, the other clearly black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell,\u201d she said, \u201cat least now I\u2019m absolutely sure which one is which.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The farmer wiped a tear from his eye. \u201cAnd how\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She smiled confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEasy. The tall one is the white one\u2026 and the short one is the black one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The farmer just shook his head again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNext time,\u201d he said, \u201cmaybe start with the obvious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She thought about it for a second\u2026 then shrugged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhere\u2019s the fun in that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" She came back from the field, dust on her boots and a measuring tape still in her hand, looking both…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":17419,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17418"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17418\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17420,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17418\/revisions\/17420"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/sirbenet\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
