> > "OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics

> > "A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff -
grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow

> > The legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence,
> thinks about it and says, "Hmmm I have no idea."


> > To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel
