THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH{6}

The Phanton Tollbooth By Norton Juster Page 95~127

After a banquet, thay talk about they don't know which thing to do in this city. The king is so sad, and then they have no idea to solve it. Milo ask the king if they can allow Rhyme and Reason to return. Everyone agrees with it. Because the Humbug knows many difficult things in this way, the king ask he goes with Milo and Tock to pick Rhyme and Reason. First, they go into a dense forest. They meet boy who stands in mid-air. The boy is called Alec Bings, and he can see whatever is inside. He tells Milo if you sit in different angles, you can see difference of the same thing. He wants to help Milo to through this forest. On the road, they meet a man who plays the roles of four different men. They also see a very pleasant city called Reality that in this city, people just walk so fast and they can't see everything. Alec tells them a story about how this city disappear and just Rhyme and Reason can solve this queston. Then they see a thousand musicians range in a great arc before them. The conductor Chroma is a maestro of pigment who is playing for color in morning and evening and make the sky colorful. After they are talking, Chroma goes to sleep and Milo also sleep in the grass with full of thoughts and questions.


This part is so long and has many different little parts. One thing that makes me thing for a long time is Alec Bings' words. He says that everything has different meaning and just depends on how you look at things. That's true. Make me remember when i was unhappy, my mother just told me story that two sisters went to a park, but the park was closed. One girl was sad and thought why she was so unlucky and another girl was so happy. She told her father:" oh, that is so good. We can have one free day to do another interesting things."Yea, that is just because of the different angles. When we meet some thing make us have a headache, we also can try to think these things in different views. One thing is always have two parts , one is good and another is bad. If we all can think the same thing in two views. We can make everything easier.
