My five-year-old boy, Neel, loves to sit on his grandfather's lap and listen to stories read out to him. One day, after his grandfather had told him the story about Noah's ark, and how Noah led pairs of different animals to the safety of the ark, Neel asked, "Grandpa, you are so old, I am sure you were also in Noah's ark, were you?"
His grandfather replied, "No, my dear".
Neel asked, "In that case, how is it that you survived the flood?"
His grandfather replied, "No, my dear".
Neel asked, "In that case, how is it that you survived the flood?"
