"Then he goes out the Wet Wild Woods, or up the Wet Wild Trees, or on the Wet Wild Roofs, waving his Wild Tail, and walking by his Wild Lone." From "Just So Stories," Rudyard Kipling.
Or by an anti-climax for effect:
"We have all this straight from the alderman's newspaper, but it is not to be depended on." From "Jack the Dullard," Hans Christian Andersen.
Or by evading the point:
"Whoever does not believe this must buy shares in the Tanner's yard." From A Great Grief," Hans Christian Andersen.
Or by some striking general comment:
"He has never caught up with the three days he missed at the beginning of the world, and he has never learnt how to behave." From "How the Camel got his Hump": "Just So Stories," Rudyard Kipling.
I have only suggested in this chapter a few of the artifices which I have found useful in my own experience, but I am sure that many more might be added.
