It was somewhat hard to understand at the time, but I guess we had to use our imagination. I remember this kid walking in the woods and a tree was actually talking to him although all you heard was a voice(this was not a cartoon). The "tree" was teaching the kid the difference between here and there first with trees "this one is here(the camera then shows a tree further away) and that ones is there....here, there"! Then he tells the kid to imagine "benches in the park...see them"? "Now this one is here and that one is there....here, there...do you understand"? The boy then says "yes(he starts walking toward the bench that was THERE) but if I walk to there, it isn't there anymore...it's here...and the OTHER one is there" Prompting the tree to say "that's extraordinary...I never thought of it that way"! Did i miss any part of that one?
