“В заключение оставало още само да се реши кои съществителни трябва да бъдат от мъжки, кои от женски и кои от среден род.
Англичаните се справили много лесно:
- Ние, англичаните - обяснил един кльощав лорд с дълга конска глава, - ние, англичаните, просто ще казваме пред всяка дума "the". Това означава едновременно и той, и тя, и то. Така ние няма защо да умуваме дали трябва да се казва корабЪТ, корабАТА или корабОТО. Ние просто казваме "дъ шип". Готово. О кей!”

“Многоуважаема госпожо Стоножке - казал той, - вашата походка, както знаете, се радва на голяма популярност сред пълзящите твари.
- Тя ми е по наследство - отвърнала Томи скромно. - Баща ми беше известен бързоходец, а майка ми ръководеше балет от комари.”
