Mount Cook

A few days ago our youngest son came home from school with a wrinkled, painted and dried up cloth stuck to a piece of cardboard. From its shape and colour I guessed that it represented a rock or something similar. I was not completely off the mark: he explained that he and his classmates had each made a mountain. And his was not just any mountain: no, he had made Mount Cook.

Some time before he had asked me about mountains in New Zealand and I had told him that Mount Cook was the highest in the country. Together we looked at some photo's on the internet, and apparently that's where he took his idea.
