When I was very young, I watched an after school show about polar bears, and the narrator referred to their habitat as "the top of the world: the Arctic." I saw all the ice and thought it was clouds, and since clouds were on top of the world, that must be where they'd gone to film the polar bears. It took my mother a while to explain that we couldn't go up to the clouds to meet the Eskimos and watch the polar bears.
