Dear Mom and dad
I’m sorry I couldn’t write before but you see, the day after the camels, we tried the squid. Now it might seem strange to you that the squid could be used in the open air, but with little water tanks, this was no problem at all. or so we thought. Until, of course, the sleigh took off… And then the mechanism that was supposed to purify the water and allow the squids to float in their own little aquariums… malfunctioned.
Let’s just say any piece of paper on the North Pole was QUITE splattered with ink. We had to wait for a new delivery. Also, am getting somewhat tired of friction-braised squid steaks, but Boggs says we must stay within our budget.
Meanwhile, in the last few days, pelicans, snails, storks and lions have also failed, in terrifying ways. Also, one of the lions was eaten by our mysterious carnivore. Boggs says it is the punishment of our attempt to use nature for magical purposes. I’m starting to wonder if Boggs has a barbecue grill in his room and if he likes roast lion.
Worriedly your son,
WW
