There was once a marauding hedgehog named Norman. Not many people were aware that he didn’t work alone; much of the time he was accompanied by Celeste, a giant shark. I didn’t realize it myself, until I spent a vacation in the Islands. Unfortunately, I happened to pick a time when both of them were terrorizing the countryside.

One day I went down to the beach prepared to do some jogging and maybe ride the waves, when I noticed a palm tree at the shore which had been almost completely devoured, as if by some giant creature. I asked a native whether the tree had been destroyed by Norman or by Celeste, and he asked me why I cared. My response was, “If Norman ate it I will not run, if Celeste did I will not surf”.
