That baby seal is a sign of life on this seemingly lifeless land of snow. 3． This is a picture of the tropical scenery. The sky is crystal blue, and so is the water. The white clouds make the blue sky even more beautiful. In the distance we can see hills covered with green trees and in the foreground, the sandy beach. There are also some coconut trees that are bare of leaves except on the top part. This makes them look like tall umbrellas.

I think it’s apparent I need to rethink my life a little bit. What’s my problem? First of all, I’m a rat, which means life is hard. And second, I have a highly developed sense of taste and smell. “Flour, eggs, sugar, vanilla bean ... Oh! Small twist of lemon.” “Whoa, you can smell all that? You have a gift.” This is Emile, my brother. He’s easily impressed. “So you can smell ingredients? So what?” This is my dad. He’s never impressed. He also happens to be the leader of our clan. So, what’s wrong with having highly developed senses? “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don’t eat that!” “What’s going on here?” Turns out that funny smell was rat poison. Suddenly, Dad didn39。t think my talent was useless. I was feeling pretty good about my gift, until Dad gave me a job. “Clean. Clean.” That’s right. “Cleanerific.” Poison checker. “Cleanerino.” “Close to godliness. Which means clean. You know, cleanliness is close to ... Never mind. Move on.” This much I knew: If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff. But to my dad ... “Food is fuel. You get picky about what you put in the tank, your engine is gonna die. Now shut up and eat your garbage.” “Look, if we’re going to be thieves, why not steal the good stuff in the kitchen, where nothing is poisoned?” “First of all, we are not thieves. Secondly, stay out of the kitchen and away from the humans. It’s dangerous.” I know I’m supposed to hate humans, but there’s something about them. They don’t just survive. They discover, they create. I mean, just look at what they do with food. (VOICE ON TV) How can I describe it? Good food is like music you can taste, color you can smell. There is excellence all around you. You need only be aware to stop and savor it. Oh, Gusteau was right. Oh, mmm, yeah. Oh, amazing. Each flavor was totally unique. But bine one flavor with another, and something new was created.
