Over That Hill


There is a a"Peanuts" Cartoon in which little Lucy says to her baby brother, Linus:

"I'll tell you something I've never told anyone before. Do you see that hill over there? Someday I'm going over that hill and find the answer to my dreams. Someday I'm going over that hill and find happiness and fulfillment. For me all the answers to life lie beyond those clouds and over the grassy slopes of those hills." 

Linus removes his thumb from his mouth, points toward the hill and says, "Perhaps there's another little kid on the other side of the hill who is looking this way and thinks that all the answers lie on this side of the hill."

Lucy thinks that one over for a long moment, then turns toward the hill and screams, "Forget it, kid!"
