   Hi, all!   
      
   There is a thimble. There are some crooks that do the following thing.    
   They show to people a small ball and hide it under one of the three    
   thimbles. If one points correctly where the ball is he gets the prize    
   money. Actually you cannot say it correctly, because these crooks have    
   so great manual dexterity that they are able to remove the ball from    
   under the thimble and put it back while nobody notes it.   
      
   Can you call a crook like this a thimbler? Do you have such a word?   
      
   Bye, all!
