Once I saw a swan in a park, and my dad pointed it out to me. However, I was convinced that it was a big white duck, and so my parents tried to tell me that it was actully a swan, using a nature book. I wouldn't listen to them, and whenever they got the nature book out, I would turn the page to the "big white duck".
