Update on my mischief
Losing rats is so hard. You develop a relationship with them over the years that you enjoy their presence. Even on bad days, you can always count on a loving furry friend to cheer you up.

In the Polynesian kingdom of Tonga, legend says that an octopus gave a rat, floundering in the sea, a ride to shore. Once on land, the ungrateful rat called out: “O octopus, feel your head; see what I have left there.”
Its head soiled, the octopus from that day has hated rats.
