Ice And Steam

Once, the Octopus came to visit the Porcupine. "Come and join me for some ice tea", said the host to his guest. "Thank you", said the octopus with a smile, "but if you come over to my place, I will serve you real tea: steaming hot." "Well", said the Porcupine, "although steam and ice look radically different, as they are distinct aggregate phases of water, they are still made of the same molecules of hydrogen and oxygen." "Well, I know this", said the Octopus. "However, the chemical composition of water cannot explain the difference between the taste of ice tea and hot tea."
