“A Goodbye”
― Avi, Ragweed

“like mice,” Ragweed murmured to himself. Still, what did impress him about the city was the endless variety of things to be seen. The range of color was extraordinary, rather like one of Windshield’s paintings—shapes and colors that were endlessly fascinating. Equally engrossing to him was the angularity of everything.

As for the smells, they were infinitely varied. Some were pleasing, others not. Most simply hung in the air. Ragweed suspected it would take a lifetime to sort through them all. It was also hard to determine where city noises came from. They were nothing like the quiet rustling of the country. More like the music of the Be-Flat Tires.”
