He said, "Aye, Moby Dick! I wish I knew whar the library was!" Then right after that, he said, "Aye but I suppose I need to know how to spell 'Moby' if I'm t' find the book, arrr!"

Call me Ishmael. I am a schoolmaster, and whenever life got me down, I would leave my job and head for one special place. When my spirits needed restoring, I could always count on the sea.
That is the first paragraph of my sons book. It is the adapted classics, so I am not positive that it is the same as the original. However, I believe it is.
