Fairy tales are like that. One morning we wake up. We say: it was just a fairy tale ... We smile with ourselves. But basically you hardly smile. We know that fairy tales are the only truth of life.
Fairy tales are like that.
One Morning, We Wake Up
And say, it was only a fairy tale ...
We put a smile on our face
But deep inside, this isn't what we feel like Doing.
It's because we know full well that fairy tales

The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
