Two Hermits

Two hermits lived in a cave far from civilization. One day a little dog ran past the entrance to the cave.

Six months later one hermit said to the other one, "That was a cute little black dog."

One year later the other hermit said, "It wasn't a black dog; it was a white one."

Eight months later the first hermit jumped up and exclaimed, "If we're going to have this constant bickering, I'm leaving."
