The homely hen lays one.

The codfish never cackles

That it pays to advertise.

I reach into your mind. I show you things that are unbelievable and make you believe them. You must treasure me, protect me: I give you a knowledge of life you never dreamed of. Don’t desecrate me. I fill the empty places of your life. I give myself to you gladly: seek me out and find me.

I am a»BOOK.
