Some people are like slinkys - not good for much, but you cannot help but laugh when they take a tumble down the stairs.
Outcast of REDWALL by Brian Jacques, Page 4, Rillbrook the Wanderer:
"Each of us is born to follow a star, be it bright and shining or dark and fated. Sometimes the paths of these stars will cross, bringing love or hatred. However, if you look up at the skies on a clear night, out of all the countless lights that twinkle and shine, there will come one. That star will be seen in a blaze, burning a path of light across the roof of the earth, a great comet. Think on these words as my tale unfolds. Mayhap you will learn something valuable, not about stars, but of the value friendship brings." |
