Read it with Peabody

Some things you hear are not so. How can you tell?

Ask who says it. Ask how they know.

Look in a second place. A fact is in many good places.

A fact is a thing you can check.

Did Vikings have hat horns? We have no proof.

Can you see the Great Wall from space? Not with eyes.

In 1917 two cousins made a photo of fairies.

Many men and many women said it was real.

But the fairies were paper. Hat pins held them up.

A photo can fool you. So look in a second place.
