     During recess, Shelly discusses the war with her teacher.
     "Mr. P, why can't they just talk it out, or play hopscotch or handball and see who wins?
     Mr. P shakes his head.  "Shelly, the differences between people can run very deep."
     "You and I are different, Mr. P.  You were born in another country and speak with a different accent."
     "Shelly, we're friends.  We're neighbors."
     "It only takes a day to fly anywhere in the world, Mr. P.  We're all neighbors.  We could be friends too."
     "That would be nice, but it doesn't work that way.  You'll understand when you get older."
