we have come to the end of this story about how we become alive, and are born, and grow up.

It is a story that has happened to each one of us, the story of the beginning of your life and of my life and of the lives of all the other people in the world. That is why everybody is interested in it. We have all grown from eggs to babies and we have all been born.

And I can wish nothing better for you than that after you have grown up you may find someone whom you will love and who will love you and with whom you will have babies of your own. Then you will have lived the whole of the most wonderful of all stories, the story of how we become alive, and are born, and grow up.
