.#.#.##.#. absolutely spherical egg. find it on .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. large sandy beaches, upshore where ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. dunes meet shadowy pines. teal egg, .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. makes some sentient bird or other .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. warm-blooded creature. lanky meat, ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. incredible meat inside, mostly tendons. .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. slithery but strong. ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. the egg has an opening. the egg has a ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. belly button. looks like a rubber .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. vortex, the crust gets soft and becomes ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. a hole. .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. ##.#.#.#.#

.#.#..#.#. ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. and on these beaches there's a .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. particular snake or lizard which ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. certainly eats insects most of the .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. time, but it knows a good belly button ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. when it sees one, and knows to enter .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. the egg ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. it will crawl into the teal sphere, ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. disappear completely and eat it all up, .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. ruining the integrity of the egg. ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. destroying the inhabitant. .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. it's a grisly sight when it cracks .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. open, the reptile taking the quick ##.#.#.#.#
.#.#.##.#. exit, emerging bloodied and victorious .#.#.#.#.#
.#.#..#.#. and satisfied~~ ##.#.#.#.#
