"Ow! Your horse bit me!" Aviva exclaimed, and cradled her injury. "Look, now my finger is bleeding." She held up her injured digit to show Navin.

"Yee-haw!" Navin whooped as his horse executed a particularly high jump.

"Navin!" Aviva said.

"Yeah! What were you saying?"

Navin led his horse and stopped beside her.

"Look! I'll have to go get a bandaid." Aviva extended her bleeding finger.

"Why?"

"Because I'm bleeding!"

"What are you talking about?" Navin asked, confused.

"This horse bit me." Aviva explained, slightly impatient.

"Oh, well if he did, you're not bleeding." Navin shook his head.

"No." Aviva looked dumbfounded at the bright red on her finger, "It is bleeding."

Navin sighed, obviously frustrated at his older sibling. "You're imagining things."
