Teacher: "Johnny, if I give you two rabbits and then another two rabbits plus an additional two rabbits, how many rabbits will you have?" Johnny: "Seven." Teacher: "No, Johnny. Let me repeat: if I give you two rabbits and then another two rabbits plus an additional two rabbits, how many rabbits will you have?" Johnny: "Seven." Teacher: "No, Johnny, let me try it another way: if I give you two apples and then another two apples plus an additional two apples, how many apples will you have?" Johnny: "Six." Teacher: "Correct. So, if I give you two rabbits and then another two rabbits plus an additional two rabbits, how many rabbits will you have?" Johnny: "Seven." Teacher: "How on Earth do you figure seven?!" Johnny: "Because I already have a rabbit at home!"
