One day in class, the teacher held up an apple, stood in front of the class and said, "Please smell the smell in the air!"
One student raised his hand and answered, "I can smell it. It is the smell of an apple."
The teacher stepped off the platform, passed by each of the students and said, "Smell again to see if the smell of the apple is still in the air."
Half of the students raised their hands to show that they could smell it. The teacher returned to the front of the classroom and asked again if the students could smell the apple. Everyone raised their hands except one student. The teacher came to the student and asked, "You really can't smell the apple?"
The student answered, "No, I can't smell it. I don't think it's a real apple."
The teacher smiled at the student and said to the class, "He is right! This is not a real apple."
All of the other students were tricked. They might have thought that perhaps the apple was not real, but they didn't have the self-confidence to speak up. They just "followed the leader" and went along with the first student.
