## 2. The Second Story

- Now we have jam again,-the King said to the Queen,-and you will finally be able to bake pretzels.
- How can I bake pretzels when I have no flour? - the Queen asked.
- Don't tell me the flour was stolen too?! - cried the King.
- That's exactly it! - said the Queen. - Find the one who did it and cut off their head!
- Now, now! - muttered the King. - No need to rush.

They started looking for the flour, and after some searching, they found it in the little house where the March Hare, the Hatter, and the Dormouse lived. Naturally, all three were arrested and brought to trial.

At the trial, the March Hare claimed that the Hatter had stolen the flour. In turn, the Hatter and the Dormouse gave their testimonies, but for some reason, they were not recorded, so I cannot tell you what they said. During the trial, it was revealed that only one of the three defendants had stolen the flour and that only he had given truthful testimony.

Who stole the flour?
2. The second story. Suppose the flour was stolen by the March Hare. Since the one who stole the flour gave truthful testimony, the March Hare said at the trial that the flour was stolen by the Bolvanchik. But we firmly know that the flour was stolen by only one of the three inhabitants of the house. Therefore, the March Hare could not have stolen the flour. Hence, the March Hare is innocent. But since two out of the three defendants gave false testimony at the trial, the March Hare lied in his statement at the trial. It is incorrect that the flour was stolen by the Bolvanchik (as the March Hare claimed). Therefore, neither the March Hare nor the Bolvanchik could have stolen the flour. Thus, the flour must have been stolen by Sonya.
