[voice begins speaking, reading aloud from something]

"...I had to invent a new animal to hunt...

"Oh, it supplies me with the most exciting hunting in the world. No other hunting compares with it for an instant. Every day I hunt, and I never grow bored now, for I have a quarry with which I can match my wits...

"I wanted the ideal animal to hunt. So I said, `What are the attributes of an ideal quarry?' And the answer was, of course, `It must have courage, cunning, and, above all, it must be able to reason."

Heheheehe... quite an interesting passage, is it not?

Why thank you. So, what do you take from the story?

Re: [Audio]

Oh, I'm more interested in what you think.

Re: [Audio]

[johnnyyongtroll]

In what I think? Well I think only in situations like the one from the story can the truth of human nature be seen. At least, that's what I said in the essay that won several awards in high school. It is only through trials and tribulations that the full scope of human emotions and potential can be observed. And what better trials than the trials of the hunter and hunted, am I right?

Re: [Audio]

[johnnyyongtroll]

And I thank you for the compliment again. I have to say you're quite the interesting one too, posting this little piece of literature like this.

Re: [Audio]

Well, it is rather well known.

True but few actually remember or read good literature anymore.
