'When Einstein was travelling to lecture in Spain,
He questioned a conductor time and again:
"It may be a while,"
He asked with a smile,
"but when does Madrid reach this train?" '
You might find this poem, or similar images or phrases, useful to help students re-imagine the world from different points of view.
