’n Vyte-boek vir almal.

Wat is ‘n wetenskaap? ‘n Mens wat hou van vyte, word ‘n wetenskaap genoem. Jong wetenskape hou gewoonlik vyte in botteltjies aan en bêre dit onder hulle beddens.

Wat is ’n vyt? Wanneer ʼn mens goeters uitmekaar haal en dit weer bymekaar sit, bly daar baie keer ietsies oor. Daardie oorbly-ietsies is vyte.
