Let's Pretend
He sang this ditty before launching into a story:
- Let's Pretend that it's story time
- And I'll tell a tale to you.
- I'll tell you a story of make believe
- And all your dreams will come true.
- And when the story's over
- And when we reach the end.
- We'll live happily ever after, Where?
- In the land of Let's Pretend.

Famous quotes containing the word pretend:
“Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Your Englishman, confronted by something abnormal will always pretend that it isn’t there. If he can’t pretend that, he will look through the object, or round it, or above it or below it, or in any direction except into it. If, however, you force him to look into it, he will at once pretend that he sees the object not for what it is but for something that he would like it to be.”
—James Agate (1877–1947)
