The Ellusive African Fibra

So,
I am in fifth grade, and I am talking with the class about drums. Someone asked me what the drum head was made out of. I said that traditionally they are made out of animal skin like goat skin or raw hide, but our drums are made out of fiberskyn. (pronounced Fibra-skin) I said it is a synthetic skin that is made to sound like animal skin.

I had a student raise his hand and ask, "what's a fibra?" I said it means fibrous that means made of fibers. He said, "Oh I thought it was an animal, kind of like a zebra."

I thanked him for brightening my morning.
