P.s.:
Møllehaves ræsonnement er ganske interessant. Her kvitteres med en tilsvarende lille historie, en Agatha Christies gudmor elskede at fortælle hende som barn – du finder den i hendes absolut læseværdige selvbiografi; den handler i sin grund om håbet, som hun mente var altafgørende for hendes eget livsforhold, men anså var forsvindende for den senere generation, desværre:
“It reminds me of the story that my American godmother used to tell me years and years ago about two frogs who fell into a pail of milk. One said: ‘Ooh, I’m drowning, I’m drowning!’ The other frog said, ‘I’m not going to drown.’ ‘How can you stop drowning?’ asked the other frog. ‘Why, I’m going to hustle around, and hustle around, and hustle around like mad,’ said the second frog. Next morning the first frog had given up and drowned, and the second frog, having hustled around all night, was sitting there in the pail, right on top of a pat of butter.”

P.s.: sådan en grønfingret nisserinde, der dog ikke er grøn bag ørerne, burde måske invitere Fru. Agatha Christie op på natbordet..;)
