Just yesterday I thought about something I used to believe as a child and then I thought what a neat website topic "childhood beliefs" would be. Then today as I was searching Google for "cats wearing clothes" I ended up on this site. Incredible. And coincidentally my childhood belief involves cats. When I was 4 or 5 I spent lots of time looking at books. (My three older brothers all went to school and I had to stay home.) I remember seeing a series of photographs in "The Books of Knowledge" (honest that's what this series of books were called). The first photograph showed a live lion posed on a low rectangular pedestal and the next photo showed a workman putting the finishing touches to a lifesize cement lion sculpture. I cried to think that the poor lion was sacrificed to create art. I believed that the man had simply encased the lion in cement!
