Last weekend I went crab fishing with my seven year old grandson. The trip was highly successful and we were determined to carry on with it the following morning. But the tide was out; no tide, no crabs!

I tried to explain the concept of �tide� by telling a disappointed young man that the water had all gone back into the sea. He thought about it a while and replied, �No, Grandpa, you�re wrong. The water hasn�t gone away, but the beach has just got a lot bigger!�
