\_\ |_/ || "You'd better trim the mane

`'" vised again the neighbor.
For another couple of months it was ok, but then the mane grew back.
"I think the best thing to do is to look for something characteristic
that doesn't vary with the time, like the height of the horses", said
the neighbor.
"You are a very wise man, I'll measure it and tell you about it."
After a few hours the farmer returned to his neighbor:
"You were perfectly right, I've measured their height and indeed the
white horse is 3 inches taller than the black one."
