ference between an island and a PENN
sula without receiving satisfactory
answer, came to the last boy.
II can explain it, SIR" said the bright
youth. First get two glasses. Fill
one with water and the other with
milk. Then catch fly and place it
in the glass of water. That fly is an
island, because it is entirely surround
ed by water. But now place the fly in
the glass of milk, and it will be 4
peninsula, because it is nearly sur
rounded by water"
