“Cogió la vela y caminó de puntillas hacia la puerta del dormitorio. —Que duermas como un angelito —le deseó a Bert desde el umbral; cualquier otro día habría añadido: «Y que el ickabog no se te lleve de un piececito», que era lo que todos los padres de Cornucopia les decían a sus hijos a la hora de acostarse, pero esta vez agregó—: Hasta mañana. Bert volvió a dormirse y ya no vio más monstruos en sus sueños. Pero daba la casualidad de que el señor Dovetail y la señora Beamish eran muy amigos: se conocían de toda la vida, habían ido a la misma clase... Ella le contó que Bert había tenido pesadillas a raíz de sus relatos y él se sintió culpable. Como era el mejor carpintero de toda Chouxville, decidió tallar un ickabog en miniatura para Bert y regalárselo. Le puso una sonrisa llena de dientes y, en vez de pies, unas enormes garras; de inmediato se convirtió en el juguete favorito del chiquillo. Si a Bert, a sus padres, a sus vecinos los Dovetail o a cualquier otro habitante de Cornucopia les hubiesen revelado las terribles desgracias que estaban a punto de ocurrir”

“Oh, se c'è una cosa che impari alla scuola di cucina" rispose lei con un'alzata di spalle, "è che le croste bruciate e le basi troppo umide capitano anche ai migliori. Rimboccati le maniche e fai un altro dolce, dico io. Non ha senso lamentarsi di qualcosa a cui non c'è rimedio!”
― J.K. Rowling, The Ickabog
