Children hardly ever know real friendship.  They only have 'chums' or
accomplices, and they change friends as they change schools or classes
or even school-benches.  That night, on that Christmas Eve, I felt a
new emotion: the firelight flickered and I saw a golden-headed bird
fly upwards in a wisp of smoke.

Marcel Pagnol, <cite>My Father's Glory & My
		   Mother's Castle</cite>, p. 267
