Setting of the Story

Sammy read a story book from school.  Mummy was testing Sammy but Sammy could not understand the meaning of ‘setting’:

Mummy: Sammy, where was the setting of the story?

Sammy: What do you mean “setting”?

Mummy: Where did the story happen?

Sammy: Seriously, what does that mean?

Mummy: I mean, where were the characters when the story happened?

Sammy: In the book!
