Norton Juster Quote

Milo nibbled carefully at the letter and discovered that it was quite sweet and delicious — just the way you’d expect an A to taste.I knew you’d like it, laughed the letter man, popping two G’s and an R into his mouth and letting the juice drip down his chin. A’s are one of our most popular letters. All of them aren’t that good, he confided in a low voice. Take the Z, for instance — very dry and sawdusty. And the X? Why, it tastes like a trunkful of stale air. That’s why people hardly ever use them. But most of the others are quite tasty. Try some more.He gave Milo an I, which was icy and refreshing, and Tock a crisp, crunchy C.
