When I was really little, I believed that there were actually two Texases. I would constantly refer to "the other Texas".
There was, of course, the Texas I lived in, with cities and subdivisions and Wal-Marts, and then there was the "other" Texas, with cowboys and Indians and cattle ranches all over the place.
Severely disillusioned as I was, it took quite a while to grasp this new concept, otherwise known as the passage of time.
