WEBVTT 00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:05,410 In a moment, I'm going to summarize for you a children's story written by Leo Leonni. The story 00:00:05,410 --> 00:00:11,160 is called Fish Is Fish. After listening, I'll ask you to give reasons why you think it is or is not 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:17,610 relevant to learning and, if it is, to give some examples of your own that will illustrate this. A 00:00:17,610 --> 00:00:24,270 tadpole and a fish live together in a pond. They are intensely curious about the world outside. 00:00:24,270 --> 00:00:29,830 Eventually, the tadpole grows into a frog and is able to leave the pond and travel onto the land. 00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:34,400 A short time later, he returns to the pond and tells the fish what he saw. 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:40,200 "There are marvelous creatures called birds," said the frog. "They have beaks and two feet, but most 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,500 amazingly, they have wings and can fly." 00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:50,180 "I've got it," said the fish. "What wonderful information; I know exactly what you mean." 00:00:50,180 --> 00:00:55,170 "There are also things called cows," said the frog. "They have four legs, and some of them have 00:00:55,170 --> 00:00:58,720 horns, and some have utters, and they chew grass." 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:05,440 "Say no more," said the fish. "I can see a cow as clearly as if it were right in front of me." 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,920 "Well, that's not all," said the frog. "Let me tell you about these creatures called people. 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:16,200 They walk on two legs, but they also have two arms and come in all kinds of sizes." 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,840 "Perfect," said the fish. "I can picture them now." 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,910 There's more to Leonni's story, but this is the part that's important to this Challenge. Do you 00:01:26,910 --> 00:01:31,980 think it's relevant to human learning, and, if so, can you give some Fish Is Fish examples of your 00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:34,040 own that will illustrate this?
