I used to have this toy, a magic slate. You wrote or drew on it and then, just by pulling up the plastic cover, everything you did disappeared and you could start new. Maybe everyone feels that on New Year's Eve: They can pull up the magic sheet and ...

Hold on tight to the words of your ancestors.
Only the foolish visit the land of the cannibals.
