Just occasionally you find yourself in an odd situation. You get into it
bydegrees and inthemost natural way, but when you are right
in the midst of it you are suddenly astonished and ask
yourself how in the world it all came about. If, for
example, you put to sea on a wooden raft with a parrot and
five companions, it is inevitable that sooner or later you
will wake up one morning out at sea, perhaps a little
better rested than ordinarily, and begin to think about it.
