Kids History
My son (age 6) and I (aged a lot more) were discussing history, as one does with one's son. In particular we were talking about the antipathy between the French and the English and the 100 years war (which was not 100 years long). After some deep thought, he pointed out that the Giant (in Jack & the Beanstalk) was probably French.
Huh? Well he does go on about Englishmen: "Fe Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, be he alive or be he dead, I'll gring his bones to make my bread".
Bet you think of this story next time you read about Jacques Chirac.....
