Larger Than Life
There is a statue of my hero, James Cook, in the garden of his cottage in Melbourne. It is a bit bigger than life, because if he had been this big he would have had a very sore head from banging it on doorways and ship beams. You can see that he had plenty of space in his uniform for a small bear. History does not record if he actually had one to help him on his voyages of exploration.
