Wiggle Eschatology (Chronicles of Narnia)

"No, I don't have any stories about the end of the world," Feathersnap said to the humans on her flatbed raft, which she was poling slowly across the marshy shallows of the Shribble; "I don't believe in the end of the world."

"But surely the end of the world is the worst thing that could possibly happen," one of the humans said, with a note in her voice that suggested she was the kind of person happiest in the middle of an argument, "and the Marshwiggles are acknowledged throughout Narnia as the experts on all the ways things can go wrong; therefore you must have some predictions."

Feathersnap shook her head dolefully, setting the decorative shells and fishbones on the brim of her hat swinging: "Ah no, I see where you've grabbed the wrong end of the stick and got muck all over your hand; if the world ends, that means there'll eventually be an end to all our problems, and I promise you we're none of us getting out of this mess that easily."
