blodgett learns a word

blodgett has a rug, and noticed yesterday that the label identified its constituents in many languages (see photo).

wolle

wolle

in particular, blodgett noticed that the german is ‘Baumwolle’. this was temporarily quite confusing, as blodgett had heretofore believed that the word Baum in german meant Sheep. (because, it looks a bit like fat sheeps.) blodgett was picturing this

cottonsheep

cottonsheep

but rug made of cotton wolle, not sheep wolle! so this was wrong. blodgett looks up the word Baum. Baum means Tree!
so blodgett sees now this

cottontree

cottontree

much better
