    “My mother made a squeaking sound that might of been either "yes" or "help".
    Poseidon took it as a yes and came in.
    Paul was looking back and forth between us, trying to read our expressions.
    Finally he stepped forward.
    "Hi, I'm Paul Blofis."
    Poseidon raised an eyebrow and then shook his hand.
    "Blowfish, did you say?"
    "Ah, no. Blofis, actually."
    "Oh, I see," Poseidon said. "A shame. I quite like blowfish. I am Poseidon."
    "Poseidon? That's an interesting name."
    "Yes, I like it. I've gone by other names, but I do prefer Poseidon."
    "Like the god of the sea."
    "Very much like that, yes"
    "Well!" My mother interrupted. "Um, were so glad you could drop by. Paul, this is Percy's father."
    "Ah." Paul nodded, though he didn't look real pleased. "I see."

    C.S. Lewis
    “I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather, C. S. Lewis.”
    C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
