Mirror
Look at yourself in the mirror. What do you see ?
I see myself holding an orange.
In which hand did you get this orange?
In the right hands.
Now, will place you in front of the mirror and tell me in which hand holds the little girl you see?
The left hand.
How do you explain that?
And little Alice responding after some hesitation:
