Quotes
-
Uncle Amos Egg : Humpty Dumpty, I'm not. I'm Uncle Amos, the egg.
-
Uncle Amos Egg : Peter Paas, a usual baby, was not. You see, usuals have to grow a whole twelve months before they are a year old. Peter grew a year every month. So on his first birthday, he was twelve years already, and such a big twelve. Such power, such a worker, and such joy. The more he heard laughter, the stronger up he grows.
-
Uncle Amos Egg : With the animals, he had a special bond.
Peter Paas : Ah, it's nothing very special. Animals and humans are all the same. A few clothes and a name, and you'll all be folks. Same as Mama and Papa Doppler. Why, sure.
-
Uncle Amos Egg : All the night through, they took the eggs from the storage bins out, put them a pile into. Hard work. Only two jobs is harder even, so who can blame Terrance for forty weeks catching?
-
Uncle Amos Egg : Such a celebration! For the belly, feasting. For the heart, loving. For the soul, laughing. Even Tinwhiskers laughed himself from the well up somewhat rusted, and wonderment of wonderments, the magic of laughter showed him that under it all, he was still Tobias Toot.
