Example from Charles Travis:

  • Maple trees have red leaves naturally, but Pia paints them green.
  • One day, a decorator asks her if she has any green leaves for her display, and Pia answers yes.
  • Another day, a chemist asks her if she has any green leaves for her experiment on green leaf chemistry, and Pia answers no.
  • In both cases, Pia answered truthfully.

The moral: any true sentence in some context has a context which would make its negation true.
