Explorers

Reading taught us we could have divergent views about shared interests. We explored the world from a pup tent pitched on a little patch of lawn. From Biggles we learned there could be chivalry in mortal combat. We felt sure Umslopogaas could lead sorties into the mysterious underground lake in the Sterkfontein caves. And Professor Aronnax provided a first lesson about how people could be both admirable and flawed. We shared the adventures of pirates, castaways and Parisian schoolgirls. We scammed friends into painting fences, waged war against families of cobras, and pulled overloaded sleds into the Yukon.
