Reptile shifted his grip. “You know, I used to be so serene before I came here.”
Serpent eyebrow and asked “Why are you not serene anymore?”
“Mostly routine,” replied Reptile. “I used to meditate on Harry Houdini’s autobiography.”
“Why did you stop?” asked Serpent.
“Eh,” pondered Reptile. “The reason escapes me.”

“I don’t want to go to the dentist,” sulked Sprite.
“I love going to the dentist,” replied Spectre.

“Bugly!” cried Fuen, “haven’t seen you in ages!”
“Yeah I went travelling,” said Bugly. “I joined a South American cannibal tribe.”
“Oooo,” replied Fuen. “How did they work out?”

“About vampire squirrels?” laughed Sprite.
“Well yes,” said Spectre, “but more than that!”

“Ah,” said Sprite. “So it’s a play on words?”

“I wasn’t always a spider,” said Spider.
“Oh really,” said Serpent, “what else were you?”

“Aha,” said Serpent.
“I was a dolphin once,” said Spider.
“Gosh,” said Serpent.
“Yeah,” sighed Spider. “I lacked a porpoise.”
