Once upon a time, there was a mischievous cat named Bernie. Bernie loved to play pranks on his owner by hiding her things around the house. One day, while his owner was away, Bernie found a shiny object on the table. He couldn't resist playing with it and started batting it around the room. Little did he know, the object was actually a valuable antique vase that his owner had just bought. When his owner returned home and saw the broken vase on the floor, she was furious. Bernie tried to explain that it was just a misunderstanding and that he didn't mean to break it, but his owner was not convinced. She scolded Bernie and put him in a timeout. Although Bernie was upset about being punished, he couldn't help but feel a sense of ambiguity about the situation. Was he really at fault or was it just a simple accident? As he sat in his timeout, he couldn't help but ponder the meaning of ambiguity and how it applied to his current predicament. From that day on, Bernie made a promise to be more careful when playing with his owner's belongings, so as to avoid any future misunderstandings.
