Giants are poor at sums. I met one near Bergen who wished to trade his mountain for three of my buttons. I agreed, then asked him for change. He gave me a valley and two small lakes. Later he came back with a lawyer, but the lawyer was a small one.

Parrots make terrible spies, as the Doge learned from mine. I gave the bird to him as a gift, and it sat in his room all winter. Back in my hands, it told me every secret in Venice, along with some very poor jokes and a long recipe for eels.

Ducks have always trusted me, and this is their mistake. One foggy morning I whistled a tune, and two hundred mallards formed a neat line behind me. I led them into my kitchen and asked them to pick a leader. They argued till noon. While they voted, I quietly set the table.

Lightning struck my left boot outside Prague.
