Donnel:
Nah, still no good. The hook's too big. Maybe if I... Naw, that ain't it neither!
Robin:
Donnel? What are you trying to do?
Donnel:
This dang fishin' hook I'm makin' just don't wanna work for me. See here? Way it is now, the fish'll just slip right off soon as it starts fightin'.
Robin:
Ah, yes. It needs a barb on the inside. Here, may I? ...There we go.
Donnel:
Wow, thanks! I owe ya one, Robin. How'd ya know so much about fishin' hooks anyhow?
Robin:
Oh, just something I read about at one time or another.
Donnel:
Shoulda guessed. You always got yer nose in one dusty book or another. I just wish there was some way I could return the favor. Say, you know anythin' 'bout buildin' snares? I'm actually a pretty good trapper.
Robin:
Not much, I'm afraid. Perhaps you'd teach me some basic traps sometime?
Donnel:
Darn tootin' I will! We can start with a box trap. Ain't nothin' to it.
Robin:
Sure, sounds great!

Robin:
Hey, Donny! You remember that box trap you helped me make? Well, I caught a boar! Just look at the size of this thing!
Donnel:
It's near as big as this fish I caught thanks to yer tricky hook!
Robin:
Goodness, I think we're going to have leftovers tonight.
Donnel:
Heck, if we smoke that boar'a yours, we'll be set for a month.
Robin:
Boar jerky? My mouth's watering just thinking about it... Oh, and speaking of, I was working on ways to improve that trap. I think I've got a better trigger figured out. You should come by and take a look.
Donnel:
Swell! I got a new hook I wanted to show ya, anyhow.
Robin:
Ha ha, listen to us! We're obsessed.
Donnel:
Heh, ain't that the truth? We ain't even on larder duty!
Robin:
We should be, the way we're stockpiling provisions.
Donnel:
I wager the others'd think we're a right pair of greedyguts, way we's goin'.
Robin:
I know! Ah ha ha!

Robin:
Do you cook, Donny?
Donnel:
Sure—if I ain't got a choice. You?
Robin:
I've only poisoned myself twice!
Donnel:
You say that like yer proud! But ain't much use to all this meat if we can't do nothin' with it.
Robin:
Do you want to have a go? At cooking it, I mean? I'll bet if the two of us put our heads together we could come up with something.
Donnel:
No harm in tryin'.
Robin:
Gah! The fish! You're burning it!
Donnel:
And yer stew is boilin' over!
Robin:
HOOOOOOT! Hot! Hot! Hot!
Donnel:
You all right?!
Robin:
Ow... Y-yes, I think so. It's just a little burn.
Donnel:
You gotta cool that, quick! Take this... Aw, horse apples! We're outta water! I'll go draw some. Don't move! I got the water! Stick yer hand in there!
Robin:
Ahhhhhhhhh...
Donnel:
I reckon there WAS harm in us tryin' to cook.
Robin:
Still, I'd say it was worth it. At least I got to learn something about you.
Donnel:
And what's that?
Robin:
You've got a cool head in a crisis. You were quick on your feet and kept it together. Thanks again for the water.
Donnel:
Shucks. Ain't nothin' nobody else wouldn'ta done...
Robin:
Don't be so modest. You certainly... *sniff* *sniiiiiiff* Er, Donny? Is something burning?
Donnel:
The fish! The fish is still on the goldurn fire!
Robin:
I think the harm is starting to outweigh the benefit now. Let's just throw some dirt over these cookfires and slink away. Er, and perhaps we'll not mention this to anyone else, eh?
