Owner to deerhound: Ok, where is my slipper? I can find only one of them.

Deerhound to owner: Nope, haven't seen it. No slipper here! Nope, no slipper at all! 

Owner to deerhound: What is that thing under your bed? *pointing at something sticking out from under the bed*

Deerhound to owner: Nothing! Absolutely not your slipper! Hey, look over there... It's a cat....

Owner to deerhound: Give it to me!

Deerhound to owner: What? 

Owner to deerhound: The slipper!

Deerhound to owner: What slipper?

Owner to deerhound: The slipper you have hidden under your bed! Now, give it here!

Deerhound to owner: Oh my goodness! There is a slipper under my bed! 

Owner to deerhound: Nice try!
