I'm going to buy a forest!

One of the things I like to do is to look at the BBC news website. It’s all part of my education as a home schooled owl.

The other day I came across an article which took me by surprise. Did you know that England is selling one of its forests to a man who lives in Greece?

It’s one of their forests in Nottingham (that's a place in England in case you didn't know). I wonder why they want to do that. Maybe Greece hasn’t got very many forests of its own and they want more and decided to offer England lots of Greek money. Maybe when I am famous and rich, I can buy one of their forests too!

I don’t tend to read the whole articles on the website - I just like to look at the headlines and the pictures. Because I am a home-schooled owl I am so very well educated and can usually pick up the gist of the story without having to read the whole thing.

This particular article about the forest had a picture of a big scary man with the headline “Greek Marinakis (that's the name of the big scary man in the photo) buys Nottingham Forest”.

I understand most things but what I don’t understand is why the article was in the sports section. I personally think it would be better in the nature section.
