They stopped and stared. The bridge hungacross the sluggish river. It was made ofblack metal chains. Dry rushes have beenwoven between the rusted chains. On theopposite shore two large, wooden postsheld the chains. The posts were decoratedwith bright feathers and small flags thatshimmered in the breeze.“Prayer flags,” muttered Signi. “They areafraid of the river.”Dore looked down at the dark river. It wasa rich, brown colour, swollen with the rain.A white mist hung across the dull skin ofthe river so that the far bank was barelyvisible. It would be like walking into awhite cave of nothingness. Dore touchedthe cold hilt of his sword for comfort.

The tired, weary, sleepy rat ran down thesteep, sloping bank, panting hard. Itpaused at the wet, damp ditch and waited.Not a sound came from the direction ofthe big road, so it began to make its wayalong the wet, damp ditch towards thenice, warm, snug, friendly burrow.There was an uneasy, nasty, horrid silencefrom the burrow. It was dawn and the sun-light has already warmed the damp earthbeneath the rat’s damp paws. It stoppedand sniffed. There was no trace of rabbit.

One hot day my uncle, Professor Stanley Russell,came out of a shop carrying a delicious ice-lolly. Heheld it out.

“Now, I have something for you to think aboutBen,” said Uncle Stan. “Is this ice-lolly really here?Clearly, your eyes are popping, and your mouth iswatering, so we know that you can see it. Thereforeyou think that the lolly is real. After all, most peoplebelieve what they see. On the other hand, take itscolour. Almost certainly you think it is orange, but youcan see other colours. For example, where the sun isglinting, the lolly looks white. Thinking about it, whyshould orange be its colour and not white? Moreover,you call its shape a cylinder. Yet from different anglesyou see completely different shapes, such as a circle ora rectangle. Consequently, what you see keepschanging. In the end, can you be certain of anything?In other words, is the lolly really here at all?”

“Not any more,” I said, looking sadly at the stickypool at my Uncle’s feet.

“No Ben,” continued Uncle Stan, “but is this stickreally here?”

Sweets are bad for teeth. Fruit is not harmfulto teeth. Sweets are fattening. Sweet paperswould cause litter. Fruit cores and pips can berecycled for compost.

Fruit is messy to peel. Children won’t put thepeel in the compost bin. Children would buy moresweets than fruit because they like sweetsbetter.

Sweets are so bad for children that thearguments against selling them are strongerthan the arguments against selling fruit. Actionshould be taken to make the fruit attractive sochildren will want to buy it. Very messy fruitsshouldn’t be sold. There should be plenty of binsavailable.
