...have been dis patched by Light (one of Miss Taylor's incarnations) to search out the Blue Bird. On their mission, the kids visit the . Veil of Memory, where they find Grand ma and Grandpa snoozing. Soon after awakening and greeting the kids, these two devout peasants sing a little tune about the melancholy restrictions of heaven. It seems that in paradise, Grandma and Grandpa are not permit ted to work, and they are chafing under such unseemly leisure. The kids are sympathetic, but continue their search for the Blue Bird. Grandma and Grandpa then lapse into an impromptu...
