His legs closed long stiff mane, hiding the same face). - Puffy, dull, sluggish, I'm not doing anything, just enjoy, feeling under his belly, a warm mud. My head was so heavy that I could not her raise. I only slow it tossed and with difficulty opening his jaw, tongue unearth poisonous grass, wet my breath. One day, without knowing, I gobbled up his front paws.
Nobody has ever seen my eyes, Antony, or rather, those who saw them die. If I had raised his purple swollen eyelids - you immediately would fall down dead. "
