Boy: What’s “dawn”?

Mum: Why – where did you hear about it?

Boy: It’s in The Little Mermaid – there’s this crown that her granny has arranged for her and it lets her breathe so she can go out of the sea and it says on that day, dawn broke.

Mum: Ah! It’s a time of day – “dawn” is just before the sun shows up and you say “dawn breaks” when the sun comes up over the horizon and the day starts.
