to where, I can’t know or see
But I wish I knew

The reality is that such behavior was respected by the animals as an ancient tradition, although they admitted that it was also part of their disinformation campaign to keep humans ignorant of their abilities.

In use: “Girlfriend gone, fired from his job, and now it was raining.
