Literature

Over the next few weeks, Momo wandered aimlessly around the big city in search of Beppo. Since nobody could tell her anything about where he was staying, the only hope that remained for her was that their paths might randomly cross. But in such a big city, the chances of two people randomly running into each other are as slim as the chances of a message in a bottle from a shipwrecked sailor being found by a fisherman across the ocean.
By the same token, though, Momo told herself that they could just as easily be extremely close to each other. Who knew how many times Momo had passed a spot where an hour, a minute, or even just a moment before Beppo had been standing. Or vice versa: how often had Beppo passed a spot shortly before or after Momo had been standing there, looking for him? So sometimes Momo waited in one spot for many hours on end, but she would always eventually have to keep moving and the possibility that they had just missed one another continued to weigh on her.

Roo: Look! There's a Piglet on our window!
(Piglet is taken away before Tigger notices)
Tigger: Where? Where? I don't see any Piglet. Ha, probably just one of them "unidentified flying omelets" or something.
