When I was 4, I saw a nature television show about bees. As you may know, bees do a little "dance" so that the other bees can find flowers to acquire nectar for the hive. This impressed me a great deal and I thought about it.
The next day, my mother was reading me a story about a horse, which mentioned that horses like apples. After thinking for a moment, I asked her,
"Do horses do a dance to show other horses where the apples are?"
