'We go straight, they told him in one breath. 'Because you've got more star-stuff in your eyes than I have, and find the way better, he explained. That touched their sense of pity. 'But you can have ours, they cried, 'we'll share it. 'No, he answered softly, 'better keep your own. I can get plenty now.
And he says: "There's another trouble about theories: there's always a hole in them somewheres, sure, if you look close enough. It's just so with this one of Jim's. Look what billions and billions of stars there is. How does it come that there was just exactly enough star-stuff, and none left over? How does it come there ain't no sand-pile up there?"
