I got this from an Encyclopedia Brown book a few years ago. A girl accused a boy of stealing some of her many teacups,and tells this accusation to Encyclopedia, the boy sits there with the teacup and plate. Encylopedia asks him about this, he merely laughs, grabs a napkin, daintily(please forgive my spelling), picks up the teacup by the handle and sips it, then proceeds to tell his story. That being he got the cups from a local Chinese resturaunt that closed down, and that he was friends with the owner so when the resturaunt closed down, he gained the cup. The girl wants to find the owner, but he has moved back to China, she then wants to give up, saying she paid 10 cents for it at a yard sale, but Encyclopedia says it will not be neccessary. The boy has outsmarted himself...Why?
