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