I was very happy about that, but they're herbivores.

How can you have a herbivore survive in the Pacific?

So just for that dietary reason, I had to get rid of it.

But so I use them because of that source of marvel that they are.

They're a wonderful storytelling vehicle.

Well, this one I hope didn't have chlamydia, but they're just so cute.

They're so adorable.

Although I don't know how they survived eating that one diet of eucalyptus.

It was in Brisbane.

It was in Brisbane.

They're so soft too.

I shouldn't have been, I paid to touch it, but I guess you shouldn't, but they're so soft.

I can show you the photo afterwards if you want.

What's this idea of even kids, especially kids have a radar for lies.

We detest lies, but the converse, the opposite of the lie, the truth is a much more nebulous thing.

Like if you listen to a symphony, you're not gonna ask yourself, is this true?

It's the wrong question to ask of a story of a painting.
