Missouri elementary school pupils have studied a unit on Kentucky for several years. Following are a few excerpts from their papers, tests, and homework answers: Kentucky is a very interesting state if you happen to be interested in it. Compared to the fish there, people have been visiting Kentucky Lake for only a drop in the bucket. Population is Louisville's main cause of overcrowdedness. Once upon a time it happened that there was this spot on the map called Louisville that some people came to. Pretty soon some more people came and made the spot bigger. Then it grew bigger and bigger. Then bigger and bigger and bigger. And that is about the size of it up to this morning. People such as humans have children while cities such as Louisville have suburbs. Louisville is a town that has many ways of transporting. It is a very popular tourist place because it is easy to leave and go some place else from. They had many Boom Towns settled by Daniel Boom. Early Kentucky settlers found abundant forests there. Everybody had abundant them to go live in Louisville. Daniel Boone was one of Kentuck's four fathers. He was born in 1734, supposably on his birthday. Boone expired in 1820 and later died from this. The shore line of the Ohio River would reach much farther if they would straighten it out. But we must cut government spending somewhere. Louisville will be completely under water in a few million years. Just wait and see. Henry Clay is a famous American from there that few people have ever heard of. Rumor has it that some terrible monsters live in the Mammoth Cave. These monsters are called spelunkers. Lake Barkley has saved many lives by people not trying to swim across it. Kentucky is 40,000 in round figures and square miles. Kentucky is really the Bluegrass State. But me and a lot of other people still catch ourselves calling it Kentucky. One of their best imports is tourists. North of Paducah it has been found that railroad travel is faster by boat. I know only one state that has more grass than Kentucky. Can you think where that is? Sure! Or at least that is where I would say. Do you believe what I used to believe about Kentucky? Well, it is not true. Kentucky keeps map makers from going crazy because if they drew Kentucky there without it really being there, they would be crazy. Fortunately, Kentucky and Tennessee fit snugly together. Kentucky is for living in or passing through depending on whether you are people or Highway 65. Question: "Where is Kentucky?" Answer: "On page 72." Tennessee is just south of Kentucky at the present time. Lake Kentucky not only has a lot of fish but also a lot of tourists, so it is about six of one and one for all. How the Mammoth Cave ever got made that way is just to admire, not to really understand.
