WATERMELONS.

There was a farmer who raised watermelons. He was doing pretty well, but he was disturbed by some local kids who would sneak into his watermelon patch at night and eat watermelons. After some thought he came up with a clever idea that he thought would scare the kids away for sure. So he made up a sign and posted it in the field.

The next day the kids showed up and saw the sign which said, "Warning, one of the watermelons in this field has been injected with cyanide." So the kids ran off, and made up their own sign and posted it next to the sign the farmer had made.

The next week the farmer was looking over his field and was pleased to note that no watermelons were missing, but he also noticed a new sign next to his. He drove over to take a look.

The new sign said, "Now there are two."
