The girl wrote a story. “But how much better it would be if you wrote a novel,” said her

mother. The girl built a doll’s house. “But how much better if it were a real house,”

her mother said.The girl made a small pillow for her father. “But wouldn’t a quilt be

more practical,” said her mother. The girl dug a small hole in the garden. “But how

much better if you dug a large hole,” said her mother. The girl dug a large hole and went

to sleep in it. “But how much better if you slept forever,” said her mother.
