*\~^¨¨¨¨¨¨     it's a girl stingray, gorgeous,      ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~\*
\~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨    covered in what's left of her prey.   ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~\
*\~^¨¨¨¨¨¨   she smiles at us, flashing her teeth,  ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~\*

#&**\~^¨¨¨    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!          ¨¨¨¨^~\**&
