What wrong with this picture?
The circus is coming to town! Father tells his excited children that this will be the most grand, a circus with more elephants, more clowns, more cotton candy than any other in memory. The kids can hardly wait.
Father tells the children that Hal Weaver has climbed a tall tree and can see the circus coming. When the kids clambor to climb the tree too, father tells them that for some arbitrary reason ONLY Hal Weaver can climb this tree, but we can all trust Hal.
Father tells the children that David Knisley has taken many pictures of the circus from the top of the hill, and will share them with the children. The children complain among themselves that the picture don't really look like what THEY'VE seen, or in any case don't look much like a circus, but father says they can all trust David Knisley.
On occasion the local parish priest, David Tholen, walks by and mutters "the circus is coming, the circus is coming", so it must be so.
Finally the long awaited day has arrived, and the children, breathless with anticipation, want to rush to the edge of town and SEE FOR THEMSELVES, but father tells them to sit in front of the TV instead. Apparently, a TV show has been prepared, and rather than see the circus the children are to see more pictures, and trust.
