The Gate of the Giant Scissors

CHAPTER VII
19/19

I am sorrier for her than I was for Jules.

I used to think that there was nothing so sad as being a little child without any father or mother, and having to live in an asylum.
I've often thought how lovely it would be to go around and find a beautiful home for every little orphan in the world.

But I believe, now, that it is worse to be old that way.

Old people can't play together, and they haven't anything to look forward to, and it makes them so miserable to remember all the things they have had and lost.

If I had enough money to adopt anybody, I would adopt some poor old grandfather or grandmother and make'm happy all the rest of their days.".
