The night seemed long. Wilbur's stomach was empty and his mind was full. And when your stomach is empty and your mind is full, it's always hard to sleep.

About This Quote

The night seemed long. This is a saying that means that something is going well. When one has a full stomach and a full mind, then there is nothing to distract them from sleep. This would be a good time to sleep because it is very late and there is no need for any unnecessary activity.
