The Cold-blooded, Strictly Aquatic Vertabrate
There exists one specimen of a cold-blooded, strictly aquatic,
water-breathing, craniate vertabrate who made his abode in an unnamed stream.
He was not able to live out his entire existence in peace, however, for his
life was viciously cut short one day when, while foraging for food, he came
upon a particularly delectable morsel. As he gleefully gulped the aliment,
the barbed, bent section of wire within cruelly impaled his jaw, and he was
jerked violently from the waters of his childhood, never to return. The
instigator of this morbid activity was the father of a child who was always
prompt and ready to perform a service at a moment's notice, and his mother,
equally cold-hearted to those cold-blooded, slapped him into a skillet where
he was prepared for consumption by the child just related.
