Hey Everyone! π
Agent Thoth discusses more of the trials and tribulations associated with living with hominids. Incidentally, if you've missed Agent Thoth's earlier entries, you can find them here: Thoth's Journal
Then, after several days, she moved the tree and placed it immediately in front of a wall. This makes leaping into the tree difficult because any miscalculation will result in diving nose-first into the wall. Which, I don’t believe I need to point out, is both painful and embarrassing. She also added a chemical agent to the moat around the tree, one that smells so foul even the bravest DPCIL Agent wouldn't brave it, and a barrier around the moat so that one must scale it and risk falling into the polluted water below.
However, even after all this, my hominid-servant didn't hang her baubles. Instead, she allowed several more days, amusing herself at our expense, as my youthful companion and I attempted to devise a means of reaching the tree. Alas, after many trials, I deemed it a futile effort. And also not worth the trouble, as I have already inspected the tree. My protΓ©gΓ© seemed to agree, as he also abandoned his efforts.
It was only after we ceased attempting to gain access to the tree that my hominid-servant hung her baubles, and then only amongst the highest branches. Which, as I stated, was an unusually clever strategy for her to use. I can only hope that, in time, the chemical deterrent she added to the moat will dissipate, and it will become feasible to risk a swim in order to get my paws on those tantalizingly tempting trinkets.
