Conclusion

So this tale ends. It is a history of a BOY, so it must stop here. If the tale went much further it would become the history of a MAN. When one writes a novel about grown people, he knows exactly where to stop – that is, with a marriage; but when he writes of kids, he must stop where he best can.
