“Rakastaks sä sitä?"
"En mä tiedä."
Saatko rytmihäiriöitä kun kuulet hänen askeleensa, halusin huutaa, alkavatko kätesi vapista kun hän katsoo tai ei katso sinuun, haluatko tarkkailla kun hän pesee hampaita koska se on kauneinta mitä voi olla, haluatko äänittää hänen nauruaan uudelleenkuunneltavaksi?

He couldn't stand by and watch a horse colic or a cow labor with a breech calf even though it meant personal ruin. The parallel is undeniable.

No matter what I did last night, I cannot leave these animals. I am their shepherd, their protector. And it's more than a duty. It's a covenant with my father.”
― Sara Gruen, Water for Elephants
