2 " The two evening stars were now shining side by side. The smaller one had moved over to the big one. They were very close now, almost touching, and then they went together and become one very large star.
I don't know if things like that are fair or not. "

16 " We're just like you,' the other tiger said. 'We speak the same language you do. We think the same thought. But we're tigers.'
'You could help me with arithmetic,' I said.
'What's that?' one of the tigers said.
'My arithmetic.'
'Oh, your arithmetic.'
'Yeah.'
'What do you want to know?' one of the tigers said.
'What's nine times nine?'
'Eighty-one,' a tiger said.
'What's eight times eight?'
'Fifty-six,' a tiger said.
I asked them half of dozen other questions: six times six, seven times four, etc. I was having a lot of trouble with arithmetic. Finally the tigers got bored with my questions and told me to go away.
'OK,' I said. 'I'll go outside.'
'Don't go too far,' one of the tigers said. 'We don't want anyone to come up here and kill us.'
'OK.'
They both went back to eating my parents. I went outside and sat down by the river. 'I'm an orphan,' I said. "

18 " Sanırım kim olduğumu merak edip duruyorsun, ama sürekli bir adı olmayanlardanım. Adım sana bağlı. Aklından ne geçerse bana öyle seslen. Çok eskiden olmuş bir şey düşünüyorsan; diyelim biri sana bir soru sordu, sen de yanıtını bilmiyordun.
Benim adım bu.
Belki de bardaktan boşanır gibi yağmur yağıyor.
Benim adım bu.
Ya da biri senden bir şey yapmanı istedi. İstedğini yaptın. Gelgelelim yaptığının yanlış bir şey olduğunu söylediler-“bağışla bir yanlışlık oldu,”- ve başka bir şey yapmak zorunda kaldın.
Benim adım bu.
Belki de çocukken oynadığın bir oyun ya da yaşlanıp pencerenin yanındaki sandalyende otururken durup dururken anımsadığın bir şey.
Benim adım bu.
Ya da bir yerlere yürüdün her yan çiçek doluydu.
Benim adım bu.
Belki de bir ırmağa bakakaldın. Yanında seni seven biri vardı. Sana dokundu dokunacak. Daha dokunmadan bunu duyumsadın, anladın dokunacağını. Sonra dokunuverdi.
Benim adım bu.
Ya da çok uzaklardan birinin seslendiğini duydun. Sesi neredeyse bir yankıydı.
Benim adım bu. "
