What else do you teach here ? OWL
Come up and I will tell you. Gyem climbs carefully up the roots and sits beside the huge head of the Owl, who blinks at him wisely. OWL
I have classes in Make - Believe, Interest and Don't -Bother -Me. GYEM
Which gives you the most trouble ? OWL
Turning towards him, remarks significantly : The class in Don't-Bother -Me. GYEM
Why ? OWL
They ask so many questions. GYEM
What kind of questions ? OWL
Impertinent questions. The answer to an imper tinent question is " Don't bother me. ” I teach them to tell the difference between impertinent
questions and warm-hearted questions. GYEM
What is the difference ?
