Lo, for this is a blessed day indeed! Not only did I have a most magnificent meal and got paid handsomely for my efforts, but I found a precious child! His name is Carl and I shall love him forever. The only damper on this day was that strange little ratcanthrope. You'd think he'd never seen an owlin repast before. I would sniff at him haughtily if I had a sense of smell or could be bothered to care. Now it's off to find some adequate feed for Carl and a proper mimic trainer to give me pointers. I shall get him hematite, I'm sure he'd appreciate the iron content.
