####¨#¨#¨# ##¨¨#¨¨##¨
¨¨¨######¨ 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~~ ¨#¨¨##¨¨¨¨
