I've posted about the weekend's May Festival at Valley's End at my blog. One of the attractions was a stall with a man who had all sorts of small animals to show. As you might imagine, he was very popular with the children.
With each animal he had a few bits of information, something about the creature's nature, its natural habitat, etc. When he held up a gerbil, he explained that this particular one came from the Andes. To involve the children, he also asked them questions.
"Does anybody know where the Andes are", he called out.
"At the end of our armies", came the instant answer. I kid you not, I swear it's true.
The old ones are still the best.
