"This place is pretty cool," said Squiggle, after the long ride from Mr. Li's home in Minneapolis to Duluth, 90 minutes north. "It's not very big, but there sure are some interesting things here. The very first exhibit explains evolution, and I know Mr. Li's students struggle with that idea. And it has a South American Lungfish. I had heard of these fish before but had never seen one. I guess seeing examples of animals caught in the act of becoming something else is a good way of showing how evolution works. The lungfish is only a few hops away from being something like an amphibian--like a salamander that has to live near water and lay its eggs in the water, but can breath out of the water. And this exhibit has some wonderful fossils, too, like one of an ancient turtle."
"What?" Ollie said, as he continued to stare out across the enormous Lake Superior horizon from an aquarium window.
"Never mind."
