In Paris, I harvested innumerable friends! There was Elfiez, a stout mini-elephant creature (about a foot tall) with light blue skin and a wild tuft of electric blue hair atop its head. There was Sniffy Mint, a skunk with a powder-pink coat and white stripe who emitted the slight scent of anise. Then there was Shervert, a tiny, benign-looking ram thingee with magical chocolate eyes. Consider also the two Nordic children, both about a foot in height, who bore close resemblance to Hansel and Gretel. These were my friends, and surely a cat in Paris could not dander for more!
