He was little and looked at the world from below. All that happened, went on over his head. Everyone looked down to him. But the big people possessed the enviable power of lifting him to their own height or above it. It might so happen that suddenly, without preamble, as he lay on the floor, rummaging and playing about and thinking of nothing at all, his father or a visitor would exclaim: Would you like to see the fowls of Kjöge? And with the same he would feel two large hands placed over his ears and the arms belonging to them would shoot straight up into the air. That was delightful. Still, there was some disappointment mingled with it. Can you see Kjöge now? was a question he could make nothing of. What could Kjöge be? But at the other question: Do you see the fowls? he vainly tried to see something or other. By degrees he understood that it was only a phrase, and that there was nothing to look for.
