Lois Lowry Quote

Then, as the middle hours of the night approached, the noise ofGabe's restlessness woke Jonas. The newchild was turning underhis cover, flailing his arms, and beginning to whimper.Jonas rose and went to him. Gently he patted Gabriel's back.Sometimes that was all it took to lull him back to sleep. But thenewchild still squirmed fretfully under his hand.Still patting rhythmically, Jonas began to remember the wonderfulsail that The Giver had given him not long before: a bright, breezyday on a clear turquoise lake, and above him the white sail of theboat billowing as he moved along in the brisk wind.
