At my pre-school we used to do a rendition of the nativity scene. As an outlawed child I decided to not follow any of the lines I was given, when playing Mary or Joseph (depending on the gender). I picked up a stick that had a hole in it and made a squelching sound. The audience was confused about the unfathomable action that I did. When I got home, my mother, who was also the director, started to yell at me saying I had ruined her play.

His hand had done it all, his hand, with a brain of its own, with a conscience and a curiosity in each trembling finger, had turned thief. Now, it plunged the book back under his arm, pressed it tight to sweating armpit, rushed out empty, with a magician's flourish! Look here! Innocent! Look!
