Imagine you're a scientist who's spent years trying to communicate with an animal (parrot? llama? snake?). Suddenly, you have a breakthrough! Your hardworking subject (Bob? Gloria? Zebediah?) is able to talk to you easily! But the conversation is not exactly what you'd hoped for. Send us the dialogue of your surprising conversation. No more than 300 words, please.
