Select the paradox in the passage.
My dear Lucy,
I wrote this story for you, but when I began it, I had not realized that girls grow
quicker than books. As a result, you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the
time it is printed and bound, you will be older still. But some day you will be old
enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some
upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf
to hear, and too old to understand, a word you say, but I shall still be
your affectionate Godfather,
C. S. Lewis
