"I found an inchworm in
the milk bottle."

 

 

 

 

"The cave makes a nice home."

 

 

 

"It’s not the right time for that."

 

 

 

"Sometimes it makes a strange
noise."

 

 

 

"We should feed it."

 

 

 

"In fact, the skull was tiny."

 

 

 

"The beauty shock pleased me."

 

 

 

"Did you bury it?"

 

 

 

"I said he said it was a ship
in a bottle."

 

 

 

"Who was that on the telephone?"

 

 

 

"The rain still hasn’t stopped."

 

 

 

"A fox!"

 

 

 

"I lit the fire."

 

"That doesn’t seem like
good luck."

 

 

 

"But the matches were wet."

 

 

 

"And haven’t we seen it already?"

 

 

 

"It’s weird how sometimes it
lights up."

 

 

 

"How about a nice, warm bath?"

 

 

 

"I can’t argue with that."

 

 

 

"I hadn’t expected such flatness."

 

 

 

"Also I found a three-headed doll."

 

 

 

"I said she said it was floating."

 

 

 

"Obviously."

 

 

 

"But did you give her the whiskey?"

 

 

 

"Not really."

 

 

 

"Go get some ice."
