“The boy looked at the stars, and he felt a sense of wonder. ‘We are together,’ he said. ‘We are made of stars.'”
“Do you have a favorite saying?’ ‘Yes,’ said the mole. ‘What is it?’ ‘If at first you don’t succeed, have some cake.'”
“The sun gave way to the moon, and the moon gave way to the sun. ‘Things change,’ said the horse. ‘They do,’ said the boy. ‘But some things don’t, do they?’ ‘No,’ said the mole. ‘Some things don’t.'”
