Dear Hunters,

I was wondering if you had a kayak? If you do, can you give it to me? It would make it easier for me to catch fish down the river. I would be able to catch plenty of fish then.

Your Pal,

Dear Fashion Designer,

I am a naked mole rat and I live in the zoo. I don’t have any clothes to wear. The zookeepers expect me to run around naked while people take pictures of me! Can you make me a black skirt and a purple shirt?

Sincerely,
The Naked Mole Rat
