By the time Mr Watts reached the end of chapter one I felt like I had been spoken to by this boy Pip. This boy who I couldn't see to touch but knew by ear. I had found a new friend.
The surprising thing is where I'd found him - not up a tree or sulking in the shade, or splashing in one of the hill streams, but in a book. No one had told us kids to look there for a friend. Or that you could slip inside the skin of another.
This is something we all take for granted, but no matter how bad things get, the moment you are denied air you fight for it. You know at last what you need. You need air.
When Mr Watts read to us we fell quiet. It was a new sound in the world. He read slowly so we heard the shape of each word.
You would never guess that a hairbrush and a toothbrush could be so important and necessary. You don't think a plate or a bowl is important until you don't have either. On the other hand, you never knew a single coconut could have so many uses.
