Think God Quote by Ann Rinaldi
““You know what I think, Sarah? I think that when God made all those animals, He was practicing. He made them all different shapes and sizes, and He just kept on practicing. For when He made man. But He had to practice a lot, first. That's why the animals are all so different-looking. What do you think?" 'Sometimes,' Sarah said, 'I think He didn't practice enough.””
