Walking, In a Winter Wonderland
"Hey! This white stuff..."
"Snow."
"It smells fascinating!"
"I know. Keep walking, please."
No, seriously. Smell this. This bit right over here..."
"Keep walking."
"Hey, I wanted to sniff-- Hey! There's more white stuff over here!"
"Yes. It's everywhere. It's also cold. Keep walking, please."
"But this smells fascinating... Oh, hey! Heffalump tracks!"
"They're your own tracks. Please keep walking."
"Heffalump tracks! I need to sniff them all!"
"They're your own tracks. From this morning."
"Oh."
"Yes."
"Hey, remember when we were here this morning?"
"Yes. It was twelve hours ago. Let's go, please."
"That was fun. When we were here. This morning. Ooh! More white stuff!"
"Snow. Keep walking, please."
"I'm going to sniff around for a bit, as if I'm looking for a place to squat."
"Squat away. That's why we're out here."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"You're not planning to squat at all, are you?"
"No. I don't have to go. I'm just acting like I do to buy time to sniff this white stuff."
"Snow."
"Whatever. Anyway, it smells fascinating!"
