One of my favorite riddles, when I was a little girl: "What's black and white and red all over?" "A newspaper! It's READ all over, get it?" I thought that was so funny!
Two of my favorite black and white carps were Newsprint and Elder. Here is a photo I caught of Newsprint with his friends among the lily pads.
But I still remember the day Elder just plain dumbfounded me. He'd been swimming in the pond, and I wanted to photograph him, but I was too slow in adjusting my focus, and he got to the edge of the pond.
"Elder! You get to the edge like that, and I can't see you anymore!" You'd think he was a Hollywood actor used to taking directions for the camera or something, because the next moment, he was swimming parallel to the edge of the pond, oh, maybe 10 centimeters away from it! Now that had to be some kind of telepathy, because you know my voice couldn't possibly have been heard through the water!
