"You know that song 'If a body catch a body comin' through the rye'? I'd like--"
              "It's 'If a body meet a body coming through the rye'!" old Phoebe said. "It's a
poem. By Robert Burns."

              "I know it's a poem by Robert Burns."
              She was right, though. It is "If a body meet a body coming through the rye." I
didn't know it then, though.
              "I thought it was 'If a body catch a body,'" I said. "Anyway, I keep picturing all
these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little
kids, and nobody's around--nobody big, I mean--except me. And I'm standing on the edge
of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over
the cliff--I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come
out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the
rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's
crazy."
