The following is a short except from a book entitled, Homesick: My Own Story by Jean Fritz.
" "I know one present you are getting for Christmas," [my Dad] said, "that you've never even thought of."
"Animal, vegetable, or mineral?" I asked.
"Vegetable."
"How heavy?"
"As heavy as a pound of butter." He'd give me no more clues, but of course I did give it a lot of thought between then and Christmas. "
"Well, you know how it feels if you begin hoping for something that you want desperately badly; you almost fight against the hope because it is too good to be true; you've been disappointed so often before. But it was no good trying to throttle this hope. It might - really, really, it just might be true. So many odd things had happened already." - from the magician's nephew
