Marni’s World:
Beatrice the squirrel surveyed her kingdom with pride.
“Oh Boris,” she said to the porcelain dog, “look at all of this! And it’s all mine! When Papa made that land deal with the elks, everyone thought he was a fool. But now we have all the acorns in the forest! Who’s the fool now? Huh?”
Boris was made out of porcelain so he couldn’t respond. If he could have, he would have said “Well, madam, I might guess the fool was the one giving speeches to porcelain animals.”
Boris would have had a dry sense of humor if only he were real.
