“But, luckily, he kept his wits and his purple crayon.”
Crockett Johnson, Harold and the Purple Crayon

“The sandy beach reminded Harold of picnics. And the thought of picnics made him hungry. So he laid out a nice simple picnic lunch.

There was nothing but pie. But there were all nine kinds of pie that Harold liked best.

When Harold finished his picnic there was quite a lot left. He hated to see so much delicious pie go to waste.

So Harold left a very hungry moose and a deserving porcupine to finish it up.”
Crockett Johnson, Harold and the Purple Crayon

“Suddenly he realized what was happening.”
Crockett Johnson, Harold and the Purple Crayon
