Thw Wool Question

Just completed a residential trip to London with 47 children. We took them on a tour of the Houses of Parliament. When we got into the House of Lords the tourguide was talking to the children about the sifgnificance of the Woolsack.
'This is filled with wool,' she said. 'When we have lots of wool what does that mean we have lots of?'
'Sheep,' came a reply.
'Very good, and if we have lots of sheep and therefore lots of wool what does that mean we have lots of?'
(She was looking for 'money' as an answer.)
'Jumpers' came the reply!!!
