"It's an island? Like there's water all around it?" I ask Bull. I didn't know about islands in Room but I learned about islands in School, because the teachers let me read lots of books so that I can ask about the stuff I don't know, most of that is because Ma didn't teach me in Room because she didn't want me to be sad about things that are not real. "I know about jungles, I learned about them in School, I never went to one though. I know they look really green and have lots of animals and I think teacher said they're hot, that sounds like it's pretty and fun."
Bull gets closer, I watch him back because when he's close I can see his face more, that will help me remember it.
My smile gets smaller when Bull tells me he doesn't have a Ma, that's really sad to me. "You didn't have a Ma? But how did you come down from Heaven then? I had to live in Ma's tummy after I came down from Heaven, that's how I got enough Strong to get out when I was a baby."
