THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 51/51 )

Look, I know goats eat everything, including paper... I get'em, I get'em. But, the fact that one of them climbed through the kitchen window and eat all my notes on the female Ontophagus sagittarius, and how it copulates with its horns that is inexcusable.

It's okay, it's okay. He's just kicking.

I thought you're going to give birth on the kitchen again?

Again? I never gave birth in kitchen.

Really? Then, why is my name Sparrow?

No, That was Gracie's idea. She found a dead sparrow here in the kitchen, the day I had you in the hospital.So she concluded that you were the reincarnation of the sparrow.

I know when I die, an elephant will be born.

Oh, no!

Statistically speaking, there are better chances that next newborn Spivet, will be the reincarnation ... of a toaster.And in mean time, I had only one month left to finish my plans for a new perpetual motion machine.
