Just because it's not nice doesn't mean it's not miraculous.” PeopleIfsMeanLittlesHas BeensHappensCertainCoursesCasesNiceFateEventsStrangeBrokenCircumstancesMiracleSafetyOilSavedChainsConfusedFreakFenceMiraculousWhatever HappensDiscworldInteresting TimesCertain DeathChain Of Events Author:Terry Pratchett
