Therein the rub - longevity, a test of time, Ars longa, vita brevis

A Fifth Grade teacher read "The Hobbit" to her class, and a child 
asked when it happened, if it were real. She said it happened a very 
long time ago, perhaps and they believed it. They also believed 
"Orphans of the Sky" was real [Heinlein].
