{"quotes":[{"text":"I'm afraid it's not nonsense,' Genghis said, shaking his turbaned head and continuing his story. 'As I was saying before the little girl interrupted me, the baby didn't dash off with the other orphans. She just sat there like a sack of flour. So I walked over to her and gave her a kick to get her moving.'Excellent idea!' Nero said. 'What a wonderful story this is! And then what happened?'Well, at first it seemed like I'd kicked a big hole in the baby,' Genghis said, his eyes shining, 'which seemed lucky, because Sunny was a terrible athlete and it would have been a blessing to put her out of her misery.'Nero clapped his hands. 'I know just what you mean, Genghis,' he said. 'She's a terrible secretary as well.'But she did all that stapling,' Mr. Remora protested. 'Shut up and let the coach finish his story,' Nero said.'But when I looked down,' Genghis continued, 'I saw that I hadn't kicked a hole in a baby. I'd kicked a hole in a bag of flour! I'd been tricked!'That's terrible!' Nero cried.","author":"Lemony Snicket","tags":["a-series-of-unfortunate-events","absurd","apathy","baby","black-humor","count-olaf","cruel-joke","cruelty","dark-humor","lemony-snicket","nonsense","the-austere-academy"],"id":50980,"author_id":"Lemony+Snicket"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":1,"pages":1}}
