Badische Zeitung

There is an article in the local newspaper this morning about the camp Elias has been going to. The camp is one of several new, city-sponsored summer programs for kids. In addition to playing outside a lot, the kids have been working on a play in which two German reporters travel the world, learning about what children enjoy and what languages they speak in other countries. Several of the kids bring their native-language skills to their roles. The paper notes, "Der achtjaehrige Elias Zausher zum Beispiel begruesst die Gaeste aus Deutschland in Sydney in fliessendem Englisch" ("eight-year-old Elias Zausher [sic], for example, welcomes the guests from Germany to Sydney in fluent English").

Can you find the top of Elias's head in the photograph? (Fourth standing kid from the left.)

I'm excited to say that I understood the German! Alas, no photo appears on the blog so we can't see Elias' head.
