My mother told me that we she was little, her mother (my granny) pointed to the fields at dusk and said "Oh, listen to the quail."
Mom was sure she said "...listen to the whale" and she thought she could she a whale running about in the nearly dark woods across the field. So she refused to play outside all summer for fear of the whale.
