Well, I have a true story from when I was a wee tyke. This is a favorite
family story.
When I was about 4, Hector Lucier, a friend of my grandfather took me to
the Springfield Zoo, which had lots of animals.
Anyway, we were looking at things, and I said, "Look, a woodchuck!" (aka
groundhog).
"No Chuck, that's a pheasant,"
"No, it's a woodchuck. Grandpa shot one in the backyard yesterday and he
said it was a woodchuck!"
"Ahh, I understand," said Hector. Both he and Grandpa were avid hunters.
Grandpa knew that those woodchucks make good eating, ... in or out of
season. :-)
