  6. Everyone who lives in Bongobongo wears yellow sunglasses. Quite naturally, everything they see – the sky, the trees, the people, the food – has a sunny yellow tint. It has always been like this and the citizens of Bongobongo live quite contentedly in their yellow universe. Into this world, comes a visitor, a citizen of Adanac. As you may have heard, all Adanacians wear blue sunglasses. When they wake up each day, they kiss their beautiful blue children, and look out on to blue fields, forests and farms, all of course, under a perfect blue sky. Being a culturally sensitive visitor, the Adanacian feels it is only right that he tries to understand the Bongobongo perspective of the world. So he gets a pair of yellow sunglasses. Then he puts them on over his blue ones. “Ah”, he says with some satisfaction. “Now I get it. Everything here in Bongobongo is green!”
