The Dutch and American flags have similar colors....red, white and blue. When a Dutch visitor was here in the USA, he began to explain to an American friend how he saw the red, white and blue of the Dutch flag.
" The colors," he said, "are symbols of our taxes. Red is for when we talk about them, white when we see our tax bills, and blue after they have been paid!"
" I know what you mean," replied the American. "It's the same here, only we also see stars."
