"Hello? Where'd you come from?" ¶
"You spoke to me!" ¶
"Goodness, you look like you've had a rough time, kiddo." ¶
"I'm sorry, I seem to have bothered you." ¶∆ HDR
"Are you hungry?"¶
"I'm very hungry."¶
"I have too much to eat!
Here, would you like some?"¶
"You have food.
It smells so good.
I should leave now."¶∆ HDR
"Scared, aren't you?"¶
"Ohhhh! You have fresh meat!"¶
"Come, have a little."¶
"I'm sorry, I'll go away."¶∆ HDR
"You look like you would be a very good dog if someone cared for you."¶
"No one cares."¶
"Here, I'll toss you a bit."¶
∆ HDR
"You're throwing your food at me.
O.k. I'll leave, but I can't leave that on the sidewalk!
Ohhh!
I'll just clean that up and go now."¶
"Don't run, I have more."¶∆ HDR
"What are you going to throw at me next?
I must really bother you."¶
"Here you go."¶
"More food!"¶∆ HDR
"See?
Not so bad is it?"¶
"More food?"¶
"Come, I'd like a friend to join me."¶∆ HDR
"You've extended your hand.
My people used to hold out their hands like that. . . when I was a puppy.
I can't be fooled like that again."¶∆ HDR
"Please come."¶
But she trotted away.
There was one last glance over her shoulder.¶
I've seen a look like that before.¶
In the mirror this morning.¶∆ HDR
