"I guess you would look sad if you had my life. I've just fallen out of a tree, landed with thump on the ground, and my head hurts. Now I have to climb all the way back up or there's no dinner for me tonight. One has to eat ! Yesterday my friend fell too but I haven't seen him since. Maybe he was stepped on by a human, there's a few of them about, or got eaten by one of those nasty
Calosoma beetles. I've never even met my mum and dad and so I get no support from them. Life can be really difficult sometimes. Sigh.......!"
