A Year 5 class discussing fables ...

Teacher: “Can anyone tell me the name of somebody who is well known for his fables?”

Silence.

Teacher: “He lived a long time ago and was Greek?”

A slight look of recognition on a boy’s face and a hovering hand.

Teacher: “Go on ... Ae ... Aee ...”

A sudden look of confidence.

Boy: “I know - the Easter Bunny.”
