CHAPTER TEN. THE FIRST JOKE AND OTHER MATTERS - The Magician's Nephew
This reminds me of a verse in the Bible 2nd Peter 3:5 ,
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water
CHAPTER TEN. THE FIRST JOKE AND OTHER MATTERS - The Magician's Nephew
Uncle andrew seems like a very selfish man.“The fools!” he said to himself. “Now those brutes will eat the rings along with the children and I’ll never be able to get home again. What a selfish little boy that Digory is! And the others are just as bad. If they want to throw away their own lives, that’s their business. But what about me? They don’t seem to think of that. No one thinks of me.”
Then, when the sun rose and he saw that the singer was a lion (“only a lion,” as he said to himself) he tried his hardest to make believe that it wasn’t singing and never had been singing—only roaring as any lion might in a zoo in our own world. “Of course it can’t really have been singing,” he thought, “I must have imagined it. I’ve been letting my nerves get out of order. Who ever heard of a lion singing?” And the longer and more beautiful the Lion sang, the harder Uncle Andrew tried to make himself believe that he could hear nothing but roaring. Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed. Uncle Andrew did. He soon did hear nothing but roaring in Aslan’s song.
