“I always have a problem liking things that I'm told I should like. This has been the problem with most of the Wonders I have seen so far.

The people saw that her gift was better, so they named the city after her."
They must really like olives."
Oh, forget it."
Now, if she'd invented pizza-that I could understand.”
