Do you mean to say, " asked Caspian, "that you three come from a round world (round like a ball) and you've never told me! It's really too bad for you. Because we have fairy-tales in which there are round worlds and I have always loved them … Have you ever been to the parts where people walk about upside-down?" Edmund shook his head. "And it isn't like that, " he added. "There's nothing particularly exciting about a round world when you're there. . C.s. Lewis
About This Quote

The round world the three travelers encountered is similar to our own, but it is not exactly like ours. The author mentions how the fairy tale world is round and how the people walk on two legs. The author also compares this world to the human world, where people are all working towards a common goal. This can be related to how we work towards achieving our goals in life.

Sometimes, we don't achieve these goals but keep persisting until we finally do achieve our goal. We must keep trying until we finally succeed, which brings us one step closer to our goal.
