Bobbi: Hey, Bruce.
Bruce: Yeah, Bobbi?
Bobbi: Guess what I saw the other day?
Bruce: A deer.
Bobbi: No.
Bruce: A rabbit?
Bobbi: No. Well, yes, but that’s not what I wanted to tell you. I saw a whole truck full of nothing but sticks!
Bruce: Wow. That’s a lot of sticks. *starts drooling*
Bobbi: It was more sticks than I had ever seen in my whole life! What do you think they’re going to do with all those sticks.
Bruce: Probably eat them. It’s what I would do.
Bobbi: Have you ever seen a human munching on a stick?
Bruce: *thinks* Now that you mention it, I don’t think I have.
Bobbi: Humans are so weird.
Bruce: I know, right?
Bobbi: So if they didn’t want to eat the sticks, what are they going to do with them?
Bruce: Maybe they were collecting them for their dog.
Bobbi: Whoa. That must be one lucky dog!
Bruce: Yeah. I wouldn’t mind being that dog.
Bobbi: Do you think we could get our humans to get that many sticks for us?
Bruce: How would we do that?
Bobbi: I’m not sure yet, but there has to be a way. Maybe if we start by encouraging our humans to let us have a few sticks, then they’ll let us have more sticks, and then we get them to let us have more sticks, and we’ll build up from there.
Bruce: You’re always plotting something, aren’t you?
Bobbi: We have to. Who knows what we might miss out on if we don’t ask for it.
Bruce: My humans give me everything I want.
Bobbi: But you haven’t been to The Island. If you were more ambitious, maybe you could have come with us.
Bruce: What’s The Island?
Bobbi: It’s a wonderful place full of grass, and trees, and deer! So many deer!
Bruce: Why haven’t I ever been to The Island?
Bobbi: Because you’re content with what you have. When you ask for more, you get more.
