Mememe Game

I go to page 123 of the book I'm currently reading, skip the first five sentences and reveal the following three.

"Wishing to be loved by their child, parents shrink from exposing him to tales which encourage him to think of parents as bad or rejecting. Parents wish to believe that if a child sees them as stepmothers, witches or giants, this has nothing to do with them and how they at moments appear to the child, but is only the result of tales he has heard. These parents hope that if their child is prevented from learning about such figures, he will not see his own parents in this image."

The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales by Bruno Bettelheim

Now I "tag" you to do the same...
