Cooter the Tortoise Cat Fish

Cooter the Tortoise Cat sits near the Tree of Life Shrine fish bowl.
Cooter:  Hey, do you know what those little morsels the Big One gives Beta-Fish are?  They are way too tiny but they sure are tasty!

Chameleon:  Cooter, you didn't!

Cooter:  What?!

Chameleon:  Tell me you didn't really eat Beta-Fish's special food!

Cooter:  Oh but I ate only two by mistake while I lapped a drink right after the Big One dropped them in.

Chameleon:  By mistake?  Really?  Beta-Fish only gets two or three of those a day you know!

Cooter:  Beta-Fish could complain to the Big One and get more treats.

Chameleon:  Oh my goodness!  Cooter it is almost impossible for Fish Folk to complain so Big Ones can hear them!  And those aren't treats - those are the main course.

Cooter:  Don't worry...The Big One saw me slurp up those itty-bitty treats and already dropped two more in for Companion Beta-Fish.

Chameleon:  Remember, Beta-Fish is your special responsibility....You agreed to watch over Beta-Fish and make sure everything is A-ok in that fish bowl all day every day!

Cooter:  So am I sort of like a Big One to Beta-Fish?

Chameleon:  Well...maybe you are more like a 'bigger one' or the Big One's assistant.

Cooter:  Doesn't associate sound better?  I like the title Associate Big One better.

Chameleon:  Ok, fine.  I mean wonderful.  Really. 

Cooter:  So what are those tiny treats made of?

Chameleon:  I tell you another day.

Cooter:  You mean you don't know?

Chameleon:  I mean I do know but I am not telling right now! 

Cooter:  Why?

Chameleon:  You just ate....I don't want you to throw up.
