Try this one:

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly
you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and
plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing
is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think
about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at
it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

There once was an evil wizard (Mandrake). He took 3 woman (Queen of Clubs, Lommy and Magic Chris) from their homes and turned them into rose bushes that looked exactly alike. He put them in his garden. One of the woman (Magic Cris) had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night, he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. That day the husband (Craig) decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly, he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which rose bush was his wife?

His wife was the only flower with no dew on it.
