“Hey, stick! Keep your sticks to yourself! …oh … well, your jaws to yourself! You eat all the green leaves, but you leave the sticks. So weird. I get it… a walking stick eating sticks – that’s a kind of cannibalism…” Everyone likes sticky insects – walking sticks Me too, but I think it would …

This time it was sleepy.) when Broes came running in and said, “Come, come, quick!” and disappeared again. The tone in his voice immediately made it clear to me that he was serious, so I dropped …
“Well what the … what now ?! I do exactly what you ask me to do!” I am getting seriously frustrated with this text message. Whatever I do, I get “Formata da resposta incorreto” all the time.
