¹     Eight-year-old Joe brought an old photograph to school for show and tell. The photo showed a goat standing in a potato field in New Mexico.
 
²     "Everyone knows potatoes don't grow in New Mexico," said Sam. "Potatoes only grow in Idaho."
 
³     "Oh, no," said Joe, "Potatoes grow in other places, too. My grandfather gave me this photo. He told me a story about how the potato was brought to Idaho."
