Thankfully this story featured familiar characters. This story was a nice classic adventure story. It introduced a few characters but who ultimately made the adventure more interested and well rounded. I hope the remaining stories are as well thought out as one.
"No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire."
"Contentment with one's lot is true wisdom."
"I am so wise that sometimes my wisdom makes my head ache. I know so much that often I have to forget part of it."
"Dangers don't hurt us. Only things that happen ever hurt anyone, and a danger is a thing that might happen and might not happen, and sometimes don't amount to shucks."
"What everyone says must be true, otherwise what would be the use of their saying it?"
"They seemed happy and contented, though, and those who are contended have nothing to regret and nothing more to wish for."
"[It] is of importance only to you, so it is your business to worry over the loss, not ours. If you love us, do not afflict your burdens on us; be unhappy all by yourself."
"In truth, no living creature can know much more than his fellows, for one may know one thing, and another know another thing, and so that wisdom is evenly scattered throughout the world."
"'If any of you is naughty, I'll send him to some boy or girl in America to play with.'
"This dreadful threat made all the toy bears look solemn."
