The result is both charming and revealing. To Chief Joseph and his fellow Papuans, supermarkets, St Paul's Cathedral and leafless trees are objects of wonder. Only when told they cannot meet the head of the Commonwealth (or Missus Kwin as they call her) do they appear slightly miffed. But not enough to kill her and eat her, as their ancestors may have done.[/FONT]
