Question

In what ways does Think-Tank misinterpret innocent nursery rhymes as threats to the Martians? Can you think of any incidents where you misinterpreted a word or an action? How did you resolve the misunderstanding?

Answer 1

Think-Tank thinks that people grew them on farms because of words like ‘shell’ and ‘silver.’ After that, there is a line about ‘cow’ and ‘moon.’ Think-Tank also thinks that people are about to invade Mars because of the Humpty-Dumpty picture and the rhyme of ‘great fall’. In fact, I had a similar mistake with a friend. I was lucky, though, because I found out the truth just in time. What I had heard before didn’t make sense to me.
