“The Water buffalo can sense puma danger lurking— What’s the matter?”
“I don’t want to be a puma today. I just don’t feel it.”
“For heaven’s sake. What do you want to be then?”
“How about a crocodile? That would be fun.”
“Okay, whatever. The water buffalo senses a crocodile danger.”
“Wait. A water buffalo is too big for a crocodile to fight.”
“I can get that. Do you have a suggestion?”
“How about a sheep. That would be a good size.”
“It will have to be a sheep with horns. Let’s go to the living room for more space.”
“The ram can sense the crocodile danger. So he lowers his head to defend.”
“It still doesn’t seem right. Something is off.”
“I think I can play a ram very well. What’s off?”
“Isn’t a ram a boy sheep?
“Well, yeah, I suppose so. What’s the problem?”
“I don’t know. I can’t visualize you as a boy.”
“You know, sometimes you have to get out of your perceptional box and look broader.”
“Easy for you to say. You’re older with more experience.”
“Okay, then let’s pretend I’m an antelope. Some female antelopes have horns.”
“I think the moment has passed. So let’s go back to puma and water buffalo.”

Here’s a combo for them. I was watching a wildlife documentary about Brazil yesterday. A jaguar successfully killed and dragged off a caiman (which I always assumed to be an apex predator). It would make a change from the puma/water buffalo scenario.

I loved this dialogue, John. I kept coming back to one scene with the beautiful golden glass plate behind the couch. The puma and water buffalo must be well trained about where they can play or not. My 4-legged and 2-legged loved ones never seemed to learn – though they taught me well. 😁
