"That wood," his mother said, "is full of the most blood-thirsty wild beasts in the world."
"You mean tigers and lions?" Little Billy said.
"Worse...Whangdoodles…" his mother said, "and Hornswogglers and Snozzwanglers and Vermicious Knids…and worst of all is the Terrible Bloodsucklling Toothplucking Stonechuckling Spittler…he blows clouds of hot smoke out of his nose…"
"Watch the birds as they fly above your heads and, who knows, you might well spy a tiny creature riding high on the back of a swallow or a raven."
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places."
