What is something from a book that is largely insignificant but has stayed with you forever?

I’ll jump in. I swear at least a couple times a month I remember that in *Where the Red Fern Grows* the main kid traps a raccoon by putting something shiny in a hole—like the hole is just wide enough for the raccoon’s hand to go through, but not enough for its fist to come back out. The whole idea is that the raccoon keeps holding on, so it ends up “stuck” until it can be found later. This morning it hit me again while I was getting ice from the dispenser. I could get my hand into the gap, but once I had the ice in there I couldn’t pull my fist back out. And I was immediately thinking… I’m basically that raccoon!! Lol Anyone else get weirdly reminded of stuff like this from books you read when you were younger, or just me? :)
