could have as a pet (dangerous, mythical, exotic or not) you probably tried to draw pictures of
it, had pictures of it hung up in your room, and daydreamed about this animal.
Of course you had reasons for liking it, whether it was for what the beast
stood for, or its attributes, or perhaps just the pure beauty of it. Whatever
it was, you loved it, and that is an undying love.

you read nice stories; Sweet stories about princesses, true love, heroes, and
