Lucy laughed joyfully and took it up again, skipping upwards and landing properly in a new place. "You must have the most fun of anyone in the whole world," she decided after a moment. "You get to see new things, things nobody on Earth has ever seen before! Or at least, never seen and talked about. That sounds to me like the best life imaginable."
It was rare, in Lucy's experience, for grownups to appreciate just how good laughter, play, and wonder could be. She felt as if she had found a kindred spirit, of sorts, a true friend, someone who didn't think her absurd because she loved to be light of heart.
