.&.&.&&.&. IT'S A GIRL STINGRAY, GORGEOUS, .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&..&.&. COVERED IN WHAT'S LEFT OF HER PREY. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. SHE SMILES AT US, FLASHING HER TEETH, .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&..&.&. A RAY OF STINGS. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&..&.&. A BIT LATER SHE SUMMONS A MINK AND .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. SHOWS US HOW TO GUT IT. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&..&.&. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. « .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&..&.&. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. YOU HOLD IT FIRMLY IN ONE HAND, BELLY .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&..&.&. EXPOSED, AND WITH A DAGGER CUT THROUGH .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. THE SKIN STARTING AT THE GUTS, MOVING .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&..&.&. UP OVER THE RIBCAGE, TOWARDS THE HEAD. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&..&.&. NEXT YOU CAN JUST STICK YOUR HAND .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. INSIDE, GRAB AND PULL (HOLD THE CUT .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&..&.&. DOWNARD AT THIS POINT) AND IT SHOULD .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. ALL BE FALLING OUT. FOR STICKY ORGANS .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&..&.&. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO USE THE DAGGER AGAIN. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&..&.&. THEN WASH THE MINK IN RUNNING WATER OR .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&&.&. SNOW. AND YOU'RE DONE! .&.&.&.&.&
