Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 10, 1956
Transcript:
Lucy and Linus are standing up in the living-room. Lucy looks over into the book Linus is looking at. She asks, "Looking at 'Peter Rabbit', eh, Linus?"<br> <br> She continues, "There's a lot of symbolism in that story..I've always felt that the hoe carried by the farmer represented parental authority."<br> <br> Lucy walks off and says, "You go ahead though and look at it yourself..I'll be anxious to see what conclusions you draw..."<br> <br> He looks at the book and says, "I must be stupid..I thought it was just a story.."<br> <br>

This is me when I have to read books. I would rather just read the book than look for deeper meaning.
