The worst of sleeping out of doors is that you wake up so dreadfully early. And when you wake up you have to get up because the ground is so hard you are uncomfortable. And it makes matters worse if there is nothing but apples for breakfast and you have had nothing but apples for supper the night before.
("Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia")

But it was beyond comparison, the most beautiful sound he had ever heard.C.S. Lewis
