Pre-school children were asked the following question: “In which direction is the bus pictured below traveling?”

Look carefully at the picture.

Do you know the answer?

The only possible answers are “left” or “right.” Before scrolling down, think about it. Still don’t know?

Okay, I’ll tell you. The pre-schoolers all answered “left.”

“Our country puts $1 billion a year up to help feed the hungry. And we’re by far the most generous nation in the world when it comes to that, and I’m proud to report that. This isn’t a contest of who’s the most generous. I’m just telling you as an aside. We’re generous. We shouldn’t be bragging about it. But we are. We’re very generous.”
