Book Excerpt for the Day



    “I am afraid I have to tell you, El-ahrairah, that I have strict orders from Lord Frith himself not to allow you to share a hole with Rabscuttle.”

    “Not share a hole with Rabscuttle?” said El-ahrairah.  “Why ever not?”

    “El-ahrairah,” said Prince Rainbow, “we know you and your tricks: and Rabscuttle is nearly as slippery as you are.  Both of you in one hole would be altogether too much of a good thing.  You would be stealing the clouds out of the sky before the moon had changed twice.”
