"So, he says to her, 'The vay forrvard is sometimes back.' I mean, can you believe the junk he says. He's vorrse than a forrtune cookie," the hat mumbled shaking its head.

"I see how it is, fine, don't stay and listen."

Several hours later, the hat looked down again.

"Could you at least turrn so I could count the leaves of a differrnt bush?"

Again, several hours pass.
