## From the post on ruby.social

Page 159 opens a file of diabolical ideas. About hiding lettuce in the church chairs.

Right next to puts idea.read, @maedi wrote in blue:

The creator of LowType and Raindeer, refactoring our dreams:

dreams.reject(&:small?).map(&:better).each(&:come_true!)

The foxes read this and quietly closed the lettuce file. They dream bigger now. Possibly cabbage.
