Another amusing bit from "Sylvie and Bruno" is under the cut. (That it is amusing is an accident, due to the fact that Terry Pratchett has appeared in the years since it was written...)

"And there's that old Gardener singing still!" Bruno exclaimed in delight, as we went out into the garden. "I do believe he's been singing that very song ever since we went away!"

"Why, of course he has!" replied the Professor. "It wouldn't be the thing to leave off, you know."

"Wouldn't be what thing?" said Bruno; but the Professor thought it best not to hear the question. "What are you doing with that hedgehog?" he shouted at the Gardener...

N.B.: What's going on is entirely innocent. No, it's not that song.
