Rod is looking at a bookshelf going *...* with annoyed scribbles. [Player] walks up to him causing him to go "!" Rod: Hey, [Player]! *Hearts* Thanks for coming. It's great to see you! [Player]: *Nods* "?" Rod: You want to know what I'm doing? Studying, that's what. [Player]: "?" Rod: I run a pet shop, so I need to know all I can about cats, dogs, horses and other animals. [Player], do you remember how you let me take care of your chickens on your farm, before we started dating? [Player]: *nods* Rod: That was when I realized that I knew almost nothing about keeping birds as pets. [Player]: "..." Rod: *Annoyed scribbles* So I've started to read all sorts of books about animals, including birds. Just books aren't enough, though. The more I read the more I've been made to realize that I just don't know enough. [Player]: "..." Rod: It's pathetic that I run a pet store but there's all this stuff I don't know about pets. [Player]: "..." [Player]: Rod is trying hard but he's down about something. What should I say to him? - I'll study with you. - I'll study with you. Rod: "!" [Player]! [Player]: *nods* Rod: You'll help me with my studies? Thank you, [Player]. [Player]: *music notes* Rod: Along with you...I mean, with you at my side, I think I can do even better. Rod and [Player]: *hearts* Rod: Let's do this thing, then! Come sit beside me and let's read this book together, [Player]. [Player]: *nods and walks up to Rod* Rod and [Player]: *hearts* - I'll teach you. Rod: "!" What? Are you sure? [Player]: *nods* Rod: Thank you, [Player]. [Player]: *music notes* Rod: So can we get started? Can we start with the chickens? [Player]: "!" Rod: So there's this...and then... [Player]: "?" *sweat drops* Rod: So what happens if...this is like this? [Player]: "..." Rod: "?" What's wrong, [Player]? [Player]: "..." *shakes head* Rod: You don't know, [Player]? What can we do, then? "!" Ah! Neil might know! I'll go and ask him about it right away. Do you want to come along, [Player]? [Player]: "..." *shakes head* Rod: Okay, I'll go. Come and see me later, [Player]. Rod: *leaves* [Player]: It look like Rod has cheered up a little. There's things to be learned from him. - Try looking after some animals? Rod: "!" You're right. A picture is worth a thousand words. Just like with the chickens, actually trying it is the best way to do it. [Player]: *nods* Rod: I know a guy who works in a zoo. I'll ask him if maybe I can try looking after some different animals. Thanks, [Player]. I'm going to do whatever I can, and be positive about it. [Player]: *music notes* Rod: I didn't really want you to see me like this, to be honest. But with you telling me to hang in there, to keep on trying...It's great. I'm really, really happy. [Player]: *hearts* Rod: How about we start by looking after the animals on your farm again? [Player]: *nods* Rod: Thank you, [Player]. Let's go and get started! - You're pathetic. Rod: "!" Uwah. Having my girlfriend say that really magnifies the hurt! Not sure if I can take any more! [Player]: "..." Rod: I guess that's the price I pay. I'm going to mend my ways, you'll see! I'll learn all I can! Thank you, [Player]. I'm going to do my best from now on. [Player]: *nods with music notes* Rod: "..." Rod: *annoyed scribbles* [Player]: "?" Rod: Your words have had a powerful effect on me. A damaging effect! I think I'm about to start crying... [Player]: "!" *sweat drops* He's recovered, but maybe I went a little too far. Sorry, Rod! |
