I sin undervisning visar Davey Fenwick (Michael Redgrave) barnen i skolan hur enkelt det är att komma ihåg var Sveriges huvudstad finns. Man målar helt enkelt en ponny över hela Skandinavien och Stockholm ligger vid ponnyns höjda hov.

Davey: "Now there's a good way to remember this, lads. Now watch. Now, what's that?"
Barnen: "A pit pony."
Davey: "That's right. A pit pony. That's the way to remember Scandinavia. A pit pony. Kicking his legs up during a strike. If you want to remember Stockholm, that's the capital of Sweden, it's right there, on the pony's hoof. Oslo, that's the capital of Norway, right there on the pony's Adam's apple. It's closing time. Go along home. Afternoon."
Barnen: "Afternoon."
