"And what are you doing?"
"We are trying to create a new man. We are sick of people like you."
Mitya became interested.
"After whose likeness?"
"What do you mean? We want to create somebody unlike anyone else. Go away."
As Mitya was a child, and not yet versed in the secrets of nature, he, of course, was glad of the opportunity to be present at such an important affair, and he asked them simply:
"Will you make him with three legs?"
"What are you saying?"
"How funnily he will run!"
"Go away, boy."
