6)   Remember Ian and Allen?  You may recall that after they
	     died, the islanders decided to honor the two sailors.  I
	     didn't go into detail then, but...they decided that each
	     child born from that day on should be brought up to be as
	     much like Allen and Ian as possible.
	          This wasn't an easy decision, since Allan had no right
	     arm and Ian had no right ear.  The islanders were, you
	     remember, benevolent, and so they decreed that the children






	     would have their right arm bound to their body and their
	     right ear covered and wrapped (in lieu of other, more
	     drastic, solutions).
	          The children were also to be instructed in the language
	     of the Author.  And these children, and their children, and
	     so on down to the present day have followed this tradition. 
	     However, a small group preserved the original culture and
	     language.  Each member of this group secretly taught their
	     children the original language, and how it was on the island
	     before the sailors came.  And although no one realizes it,
	     everyone to this day teaches their children these things in
	     secret.  The language of the Author is the language of the
	     island and the mother tongue is spoken within each
	     household, only within the family.
	          Dr. Bardolator wants to know what neurological effects
	     there might have been as a result of being forced to be
	     left-handed and left-eared (the island was originally called
	     Dextralia, but the name changed after the sailors died).  He
	     would also like to know a little about the changes
	     (cognitive or otherwise) that occurred as a result of the
	     bilingual education they have received since the deaths of
	     the sailors.  He is interested in your speculations on these
	     and other matters which you feel may be pertinent to his
	     book on the Sinistralians.
