A copy of XKCD comic 1498, Terry Pratchett. A stick figure is reading a book, and the caption says: I told her we were going to get married, and all she could talk about was frogs. She said there's these hills where it's hot and rains all the time, and in the rainforests there are these very tall trees and right in the top branches of the trees there are these like great big flowers called... bromeliads, I think, and water gets into the flowers and makes little pools and there's a type of frog that lays eggs in the pools and tadpoles hatch, and grow into new frogs and these little frogs live their whole lives in the flowers right at the top of the trees and don't even know about the ground, and once you know the world is full of things like that, your life is never the same. — Masklin, Terry Pratchett's The Bromeliad Trilogy After reading this, the stick figure puts the book down and stands up. The point of view shifts, and it’s revealed that they are standing on the leaf of an enormous bromeliad plant. The stick figure walks to the edge of the leaf, and cautiously looks over the edge. GNU Terry Pratchett.
