Now fellers, There is a way that you both can be right as I see it. The Prairie in Illinois does indeed exist. Its just a little one, and its just a little moist compared to the really big Prairie out in the Plains States and Provinces. Some people could call these "Swamp Prairies", and the easiest way to tell if you are in a "Swamp Prairie" is to catch a prairie dog and see if he has webbed feet. If you find a prairie dog with webbed feet in North Dakota, he's most likely lost or on some kind of swamp prairie dog quest. Likewise, if you find a piano with rusty casters in Montana, it either moved out there to get away from the crowded conditions out east, or it floated out in the great flood.
