day four: favorite episode

“But it might take me a little while, so do you want me to tell
you a
story? The Brothers Grimm, lovely fellas. They’re on my
darts team. According to them, there’s this emperor and
he asks this shepherd’s
boy, “How many seconds in eternity?” And the shepherd’s boy says, there’s this
mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it,
and an hour to go around it! Every hundred years, a little bird comes and sharpens
its beak on the
diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiselled away,
the first second of
eternity will have passed! You must think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird.”
