"Why, it's not in reason that you should like our sort of victuals, though I've no doubt you'll put a bold face on it. All the same, while I am a catching them, if you two could try to light the fire—no harm trying—! The wood's behind the wigwam. It may be wet. You could light it inside the wigwam, and then we'd get all the smoke in our eyes. Or you could light it outside, and then the rain would come and put it out. Here's my tinder-box. You wouldn't know how to use it, I expect."
~ Puddleglum, The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis
beautiful shot!
I love Puddleglum.
Did you know C. S. Lewis based his character on the gardener who lived with them? :)
