"I wanted to teach Emerald how to READ and WRITE, but I'm not that good of a teacher, so I remembered MY BEST FRIEND SCRIBBLE; of course, I've told him about Emerald from the beginning and when I told him I needed help with her LEARNING, he told me YES IMMEDIATELY!!"
"I took my green fairy to the LIBRARY, which is usually very quiet, and my friend was waiting for us there; his GLASSES seemed very CURIOUS to Emerald, and she got SO SCARED when Scribble gave his glasses to her to try to see with them (Everything looks very TERRIFYING through of those things), and he laughed and said: 'They only serve those of us with poor eyesight, like Paulie, Bobble and me'; Emerald laughed a lot."
"Emerald is a VERY AVID student!! Because she HAS NO VOICE, Scribble has tried to teach her through gestures and finger signs (he's very SKILLFUL at this) and he himself has been SURPRISED at how QUICKLY she learns. She adapted to his method rapidly and has learned many symbols IN SUCH A LITTLE TIME!! As for reading, she almost READS AN ENTIRE BOOK; what a FANTASTIC STUDENT!!"
Lyrics from the song “Paperback Writer” by The Beatles.
