##&&*:~~.. some people are always like this. ..~~:*&#
#&&*:~~... ...~~:*&
&&*:~~.... the cave is built in, an intrinsic ....~~:*&&
&*:~~..... animal part. it's come to be associated .....~~:*&
&&*:~~.... with the lizards, and it's true that ....~~:*&&
#&&*:~~... they are very close to it in their ...~~:*&
##&&*:~~.. lives. but as long as youre an animal, ..~~:*&#
