Today I went to a reptile (and amphibians, and arachnids) fair to see if I could buy my newt some company.
But what happened there made me sad.
Not only:

• I could not buy any newts as they had run out...
• I saw someone buy the very last pair right before my eyes...
• he also bought some firebellied toads, and he was going to keep them together, which you should never do because even though the newts spend most of their time in the water and the toads live mostly on the land, the toads are much more aggressive and will BITE THE NEWTS' LEGS OFF.

Of course, the buyer wouldn't believe me when I told him this. He probably thought I made it up because I wanted to buy the newts for myself.
Well, I did want to buy them, but it was still true and I went home all newtless and sad.
