What do you say when someone hands you a bucket and says, "Can you just take what you want out of this and throw away the rest?"
It depends entirely on what's in the bucket, but if it contains a bear skull, say yes.
If it contains two bear skulls, say yes and grab the bucket with both hands.
A tiny bird skull?
Why yes! That will do too.
Ditto the rat.
And if there is something of wolfish proportions, all the better.
But if there is a mountain sheep in that bucket?
Say Oui! Oui! Oui!
Profer kisses.
Tuck it under your arm and disappear quickly.
Before she has a chance to change her mind.
I like the way you think :)
