There was a girl with a puppy. This puppy

There was a girl with a puppy. This puppy was very sweet. He liked to play fetch in the water. He was a big dog, but acted like a lap dog when it came to people's laps.

This puppy's name was Suzie and her favorite game was frisbee. She longed for days at the park where the wind would carry the frisbee and she could chase it as far as the eyes

could see. She was a bright dog too. She could smell human's emotions. Suzie would stay close when you need someone. Yet, she never got the chance as there was no one who needs her

so Suzie went to the streets, nuzzling anyone who needed attention and love from an emotion-sniffing dog. She found home with lonely Isko who reciprocated that love hundredfold.

The love between humanoids and their pet mutts is celebrated in countless epic verses written in Finland. Isko and Suzie were no exception to this rule. Their deep love worried
4 -
a lot of people who are normally detached from emotion. But, Isko and Suzie showered their mutt with love. They pet it, took it for walks. The neighbors stared. Who could tell them

their cute puppy was actually a werewolf? They were so happy. But someone had to break it to them - the full moon was right around the corner. On Monday, when Isko and Suzie were

walking the werewolf puppy across the abandoned amusement park at night, the unexpectable happened. The cute puppy dog began to transform, spreading his hungry long teeth towards

the sky as the moon rose. The puppy had transformed into a young boy, three years old at most. Shedding off his fur, he was now mostly naked. Wolf by day and human by night?

Nay, he was a puppy by day and boy by night. He was a were-puppy who's circadian rhythms were 12 hours out. Probably Australian. Good night. Or is it day? Put another shrimp.......

Note: Australian's don't ever use the word shrimp we say prawn. :P *Goes to put another prawn on the barbie*

hahaha thanks. It was intended as a cliché, I didn't think Australians really said that :D So is that because a prawn is a shrimp in Australia, or because you are actually putting a prawn on the barbie?

ummm... even more confusing as I didn't know there were differences in what you called a shrimp in America. This wikipedia page gives some further guidance on the matter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prawn I'd be interested to know where the "put another shrimp on the barbie" saying originated from, was it something in American advertising? Fosters falsely claims Australians love drinking their beer when in reality Australians do not like drinking Fosters (its not even in the top 10 most popular beers).

Well I live in the UK and for me a shrimp is something you see in a rockpool like this: http://www.waterwereld.nu/images/garnaal.JPG Whereas a prawn is something people eat like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/NCI_steamed_shrimp.jpg Obviously they're both similar creatures, but WikiPedia confirms it: "In the UK, prawn is more common on menus than shrimp". You don't really come across ppl eating shrimps but you do prawns. So I guess that's similar to Australia then. So it must be an American thing :D Yeah the Fosters adverts do make it out like it's Australia's favourite beer.

Always something new to learn on Folding Story. I always thought prawns and shrimps were the same thing (that is, until I saw District 9 ;-)) I think the "shrimp on the barbie" started with Paul Hogan in the Crocodile Dundee movie.
