Little Blog predicts SA rugby victory
Little Blog is caught up in the rugby fever. The problem is, her home’s multiple sports allegiances has her a little confused.
Sunshine decides to test her: “Who is going to win the World Cup, Little Blog?”
Little Blog: “South Africa, of course!”
Sunshine: “Who are they going to beat, Little Blog?”
Little Blog: “Arsenal!”
Dad: “I don’t think so, Little Blog.”
Little Blog: “Manchester United!”
Sunshine rolls her eyes.
“It isn’t soccer, Little Blog, it’s rugby. And they have to play against a country.”
Little Blog’s eyes light up: “I know! It’s England!”
Dad: “That’s right, Little Blog. But why should South Africa win the World Cup?”
Little Blog: “Because it was England’s turn last time, so it’s our turn this time. Everyone has to take turns, isn’t it, Daddy?”
Dad: “Not when countries play, Little Blog. There have to be other reasons why we win.”
Little Blog: “I know! It’s because we all support South Africa!”
Sunshine decides it’s time to apply ruthless logic: “But don’t you think all the people in England support England?”
A glint of steel appears in Little Blog’s eyes: “But we support South Africa lots harder than England supports England!”
