Childhood Memory

    One day on my way to school, when I was in the 4th grade, it was the first time I ever saw one of these animals in the river by my house.  It was standing in the water by the bridge.

When I got to school I asked my teacher to guess what the animal was that I saw in the river. 

She guessed "Canadian Goose?"

I said "NO"

The teacher guessed "Racoon?"

I said "NO"

She guessed "Deer?"

I said "NO"

At that point the teacher said that she gave up, and said "OK, what was the animal?"

I said "Rhinocerous, can you believe it!"
