A

At the end of this sentence I will type the letter A.
This time, I will not type the letter A when I get to the end of this sentence, I will copy the first A and paste it in here: A.
Now I will use the same A again - it's still on the clipboard so I will paste it here: A.
At the end of this sentence I will type the letter A.
That last sentence was actually copied from the first sentence and pasted in above, so it's not true to say that I typed the letter A that time. So the sentence above is false, but the first sentence was true. The two sentences contain the same words but one is true and the other is false.

Some things

Some things we think of as alive are actually dead. Ghosts hiding in the crowd and passing themselves off as living humans or animals.
Conversely, some things we think are inanimate are in fact possessed of life. Some rocks, some mountains, the wind sometimes.
