“There are 5 things you need to know,” he told the pencil, “Before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.
“One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone’s hand.
“Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you’ll need it to become a better pencil.
