The Rabbit Is Not A Strong Gamble
My English is younger than I am. This is not a personal glory. My grandfather taught my father to swim by throwing him in a pond. Swim downwards, he learned, there are tunnels. The rabbit is not a strong gamble. The turtle is a house. The rabbit is a constant hole in the earth. To win in nature is to become a diamond, however possible. The second rabbit was the first clone. This is not a matter of inheritance. We must crowd the field. It's not about if the rabbit should win, but that the rabbit must always win. The past-participle of the word crash is a prophecy. This is the rabbit turning into a prism, and surpassing even the warp of light.
