Book of Genesis: "Well, of course the flood was a terrible thing. But Noah and his sons survived so that was very comforting. And rainbows are so pretty, I always think."

Exodus: "I couldn't help thinking how messy it must have been walking across the bottom of the sea like that."

the Odyssey: "Well, Odysseus is not always a very good role model, is he. And then, it was such a shame about all those dreadful suitors. But the family was together at the end, so everything came out fine."
