Fifth sentence from page 23

OK, so I saw the meme from Caterina on Michael Sippey’s site, so I’ll jump in.

The instructions:

  1. Grab the nearest book.
  2. Open the book to page 23.
  3. Find the fifth sentence.
  4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

OK… nearest book is Curious George rides a bike. It does have more than 23 pages, fortunately (46). But there is only one sentence on the page, so counting sentences on successive pages, we find the following on page 25: He wished he had listened to his friend and kept close to the house.

Not bad as a summation of the plotline.

The next closest book was Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat’s Great Big Flap Book. Hmmm…
