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