...&.&&... 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! .&.&&...&&
