To discover whether bees can see colors, the following experiment is set up. A table is put in a garden, and on the table is a piece of blue cardboard with a drop of syrup on it. After a short time, bees come to the syrup. The bees then fly to their hive and give the syrup to other bees in the hive. Then they return to the feeding-place which they have discovered. After a while, the blue cardboard with the syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card to its right. These now cards have no syrup on them. Thus, the blue card is on the left, the red card on the right, and there is nothing where the first blue feeding card used to be. Very soon bees arrive again, and fly straight to the blue card. None go to the red card.

A man was tired of living in his old house in the country and wanted to sell it and buy a better one. He tried to sell it for a long time but was not successful. So at last he decided to solve the problem by using an estate agent.
The agent advertised the house, and a few days later, the owner saw a very attractive photograph of it, with a wonderful description of its gardens, in an expensive magazine.
After the house owner had read the advertisement through, he hastened to telephone the estate agent and said to him, “I’m sorry, MY. Jones, but I’ve decided not to sell my house after all. After reading your advertisement in that magazine, I can see that it’s just the kind of house I’ve wanted to live in all my life.”
