कोई लाल पक्षी ऐसा चहक रहा था मानो किसी कांच की छोटी बोतल में कोई पारदर्शी तरल बूंद-बूंद करके ऊपर तक भरा जा रहा हो।

बड़े लोग! हर कोई उन्हें याद रखता है। यह कितनी अजीब और यहाँ तक कि दुखद बात है कि हम कभी वे नहीं बन पाए जो वे हुआ करते थे: महान, कभी न भूलने वाले और स्वतंत्र इंसान। हम कभी वे नहीं बन पाए। जीते-जी हम जो एक बात समझते हैं, वह यह है कि हम जो हैं, उससे अलग कभी नहीं बन पाते। चास साल की उम्र में भी हम उतने ही खुद होते हैं जितने चार साल के थे, और इसी वजह से हम बड़ों को सिर्फ़ एक बार जानते हैं—अपने बचपन के दौरान। इसके बाद हम उन्हें अपनी ज़िंदगी में कभी नहीं मिलते, और हमेशा उनकी कमी महसूस करते हैं।
Grownups! Everyone remembers them. How strange and even sad it is that we never became what they were: beings noble, infallible, and free. We never became them. One of the things we discover as we live is that we never become anything different from what we are. We are no less ourselves at forty than we were at four, and because of this we know grownups as Grownups only once in life: during our own childhood. We never meet them in our lives again, and we will miss them always.

पिताजी ने कहा, 'पिकनिक की योजना कभी मत बनाओ।' 'रात के खाने, मकान, बजट या डॉक्टर के यहाँ जाने के अपॉइंटमेंट की योजना भले बनाओ, पर पिकनिक की कभी, बिल्कुल कभी योजना मत बनाओ।'
Never plan a picnic' Father said. 'Plan a dinner, yes, or a house, or a budget, or an appointment with the dentist, but never, never plan a picnic.
