Dear Alice,

Of course I didn’t make it up. A gnu is like an African Cow with horns. It has blue fur that’s very sticky and that’s how it catches its lunch. Things stick to it and it just nibbles them off when it’s hungry.

I have decided to accept your ghost sharing deal on one condition: I can fine you $1 for every minute you’re late to return the ghost.

As it is Tuesday, please bring the ghost to my desk POSTHASTE or you will be fined.

Yours punctually

Captain Jimmy Cook
