Reminder what C.S. Lewis said in The Magician’s Nephew:
“Creatures, I give you yourselves,” said the strong, happy voice of Aslan. “I give to you forever this land of Narnia. I give you the woods, the fruits, the rivers. I give you the stars and I give you myself. The Dumb Beasts whom I have not chosen are yours also. Treat them gently and cherish them but do not go back to their ways lest you cease to be Talking Beasts. For out of them you were taken and into them you can return. Do not so.”

[The Talking Beasts actually were totally real. Walter Wangerin’s Dun Cow saga is a good account of the tragedy of what happened to them.]
