Norton Juster Quote
Does everyone here grow the way you do? puffedMilo when he had caught up.Almost everyone, replied Alec, and then he stoppeda moment and thought. Now and then, though, some-one does begin to grow differently. Instead of down, hisfeet grow up toward the sky. But we do our best to dis-courage awkward things like that.What happens to them? insisted Milo.Oddly enough, they often grow ten times the sizeof everyone else, said Alec thoughtfully, and I'veheard that they walk among the stars.
