When I was three and a half years old, I heard my big sister tell my mum,that all day, at school, all the kids sat on the floor and watched,"The NeverEnding Story" (1995) . Having never heard of the movie,I concluded that this was what school must be about: sitting,cross-legged, on the floor, listening to a never-ending story, page,after page.
