[Ads-l] A linguistic lesson in diversity and tolerance

[Joel Berson]

Two sheep meet in a meadow.

The first one greets the other with "Baaaaa."

The second one replies "Moooo."

Sheep 1:  "Sheep don't say 'Moooo,' they say 'Baaaaa'."

Sheep 2:  "No, I say 'Moooo'; I'm studying a foreign language and culture."

(I think this would make a neat lesson for, say, third-graders.)


Joel
