You can lead a horse to water. . .

Why make spelling more difficult than it already is? When someone leads a horse to water, it drinks before telling its friends, “Someone led me to water!”

“Probably that lead miner,” responds the friend.
“I heard the leader was a minor, not quite 12 years old.”
“And that makes a difference how?”
“Can a minor be cited for leading a horse to water when the horse was actually led by a lead miner?”

Get it? The verb “to lead” uses the past tense “led”. The noun “lead” refers the the heavy metal. The nouns “miner” and “minor” refer to someone who digs the metal and someone who digs “heavy metal”, respectively! Dig?

Oh yes, don’t overlook the adjective “minor” which sounds like a sour note sometimes.
