That is bold language boy. You say you “know that you are right.” There are but a few things in this world that we positively know. We are likely to be deceived in many ways. Sometimes the eye is imperfect, and the mind clouded. Sometimes our eager desire to accomplish an object, aided by our imagination, leads us astray. Now look and see if you can see the white spot on the flag staff?
No, I can’t see the white spot, but I can see the red.
Yet you knew that you were right.
Walter was confused.
I think that I am right.
Do you know that you are right?
His confusion increased.
Now place the staff so that you can see both the white and red, then you will be right. You are now looking at a bunch of red leaves.
Walter felt chagrined. The flag was moved about five feet and then he could see it from top to bottom.
