Did Moses Need A Chemist?

No, But He's Famous For Taking Two Tablets

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


When our son was little, I used to read him a story every night from his children's version of the Bible. So when we explored a bush property one day, I was delighted to see bulrushes by the side of a lake. I called him over and said: ``Do you remember the story of Moses?''

He said he did.

``Remember it was about the baby in the bul .....'' I said, trying to prompt his memory.

He was trying valiantly to recall the answer.

I tried again. ``Moses and the bul ....''

His face lit up. ``Moses and the bulldozers?''
