I used to be part of such a large family. We’d travel all day in a very tight group. Here and there, back and forth. If we saw anything scary, we’d just group together tighter. Then one day I found myself without water, floating midair in a net. I found myself blanched in vinegar, then I was cured with the olive oil. Then the worst thing of all, I found myself stuffed into a jar with my family, but instead of scaring away that which would harm us, now we only attracted them more.
