They found a coin and helped him to the telescope. He complained and insulted them, but they helped him look at each individual letter in turn. The first letter was a 'w, ' the second an 'e.' Then there was a gap. An 'a' followed, then a 'p, ' an 'o, ' and an 'l.'Marvin paused for a rest. After a few moments they resumed and let him see the 'o, ' the 'g, ' the 'i, ' the 'z, ' and the 'e.'The next two words were 'for' and 'the.' The last one was a long one, and Marvin needed another rest before the could tackle it. It started with 'i, ' then 'n, ' then 'c.' Next came an 'o' and an 'n, ' followed by a 'v, ' an 'e, ' another 'n, ' and an 'i.'After a final pause, Marvin gathered his strength for the last stretch. He read the 'e, ' the 'n, ' the 'c, ' and at last the final 'e, ' and staggered back into their arms.' I think, ' he murmured at last from deep within his corroding, rattling thorax, 'I feel good about it.' The lights went out in his eyes for absolutely the very last time ever. . Douglas Adams
