A man who lost his axe suspected his neighbor’s son—“Look at the way he walks—he’s stolen the axe! The expression on his face—he’s stolen the axe! The way he talks—he’s stolen the axe!” Every act, every attitude, indicated that he’d stolen the axe. One day the man found the axe as he was digging in the valley. The next time he saw his neighbor’s son, he wasn’t acting like he’d stolen the axe.
