"Homer dan Candy melewati apotek kosong dan terang; mereka mengintip ke kantor Perawat Angela yang kosong. Homer tahu lebih baik daripada mengintip ke ruang bersalin ketika lampu menyala.

--- John Irving

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Homer and Candy passed by the empty and brightly lit dispensary; they peeked into Nurse Angela's empty office. Homer knew better than to peek into the delivery room when the light was on. From the dormitory, they could hear Dr. Larch's reading voice. Although Candy held tightly to his hand, Homer was inclined to hurry - in order not to miss the bedtime story.
