of a class of primary school children, who were asked to write a story about a poor family. One of the children was the daughter of a millionaire, and wrote:

'Once there was a poor family. The father was poor. The mother was poor. The brother was poor. The sister was poor. The cook was poor. The butler was poor. The maids were poor. Everybody was poor.'
