If the Earth is round (The Imagination of Childhood) If the Earth is round As the Scientists asserted that the Earth is round or almost, it may be possible that we could perforate deeply, very deeply, and obtain a tunnel to get on the other side of the planet. In this way we could meet a lot of kids like us, but with yellow or black skin and we’ll could try to talk with them, play with them... If people there are upside down, it would be some problems in communication. In that case, we’ll move somewhere in the tunnel and we’ll set up the things inside. I thing we can begin to drill the soil right now, in the back yard, under the big walnut. Because you are yunger and smoller, you’ll sit down on the grass and you have to keep this stake wright with all your force. I will beat with this piece of stone until I’ll make a hole in the ground. You’ll see, the reste will be easy to do!
