There's this strange animal out at the San Francisco Zoo; the placard on its cage reads "Deer/Mouse."It has the head of a mouse, and the body of a miniature deer, with tiny deer hooves.
If you listen very closely, you can hear its tiny, reedy voice wheedling "See, it's like this: I'm a mouse, but I really just work as a mouse... you know... days. It's a job. But see, what I am -what I really am- is a deer. Or, you know, that's what I'd like to be someday. You know, knock wood."
