* In ''[[Creator/AstridLindgren Emil of Lönneberga]]'', no one could figure out why at least twenty attempts to shoe a certain horse failed (with it kicking every time someone tried to hold its leg), and in the end, it was offered for free to anyone who could hold it while it was being shod. Emil carried out the task by only holding the horse's hooves, [[EurekaMoment realizing]] that it was merely ticklish.
