1. two men are arguing over whether a flag is moving in the wind - or the wind is moving the flag?

2. is water and ice one and the same substance - or are they seperate in their nature?

You mean think outside the box, right?

1. No. The men's tongues are moving.

2. They are the same substance AND separate nature.

Another one:

3. When you meet a Man of the Way on the road, greet him not with words, nor with silence. Tell me, how will you greet him?
