He aquí algunos de los secretos de la taxidermia. Me los contó un taxidermista en estado de euforia, entre el primero y el cuarto whisky, cuando se ha dejado de ser cauteloso y todavía no se está borracho.

Y no había tampoco ninguna restricción especial de la demanda. Cualquiera hubiera pensado que cinco avestruces comprados a un indio habrían salido baratos.
