%†:-^¨¨¨¨¨     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.  ¨¨¨¨¨¨^-:†
