HS no Hamu-chan
Back in the classroom, Dan v 2.9, avec beard (that's right Dan fans- the beard is back!) Across the desk, all-gaijin-look-the-same high-school student ("your name is Sam.")
ME: Do you have any pets?
SHE: I had a hamster.
ME: Why do I get the feeling that this story has a bad ending?
SHE: Itachi- nan to iu no? What do I say?
I search the McKeown memory bank. Ah, there it is. Sure enough, the tale of HS's hamster has the requisite unhappy ending.
ME: Itachi... that would be a weasel, wouldn't it.
She checks her dictionary
SHE: Yes, weasel.
I decided not to pursue the details of how exactly HS lost her hamster to a weasel. My loss, perhaps.
