... This thing is weird.

Hey! Priest-guys, or whoever, what do you know about spirit-demon statues?

It's not like we're talking about an ancient library or a dirty river here. So it's not worth hitting back with some mad spirit action, right? I mean, this place doesn't even have a spirit world anyway.

[Part of being a parent was telling a kid old proverbs that didn't make any sense.]

I don't suppose you've heard the saying about how curiosity killed the cat monkey, have you?

FAILBOAT/SPARTA/A HELLUVA LOT OF EFFORT FOR A THROW-AWAY PUNCHLINE

No.

[Or maybe she has and just doesn't want to remember. Sayings are better with tea anyway.]

I ALREADY USED THE PUNCHLINE... SUBTLY

Well that's pretty much how it goes. A curious cat monkey dies tragically trying to satisfy his curiosity about a sleeping saber toothed moose lion.

[His mother told that story better.]

YOUR BLINK TAGS. MY BROWSER ATE THEM.

Great story, Chief. Just one question; was the cat-monkey an earthbender?

[And was the moose-lion made of stone? But that'd be two questions.]

ACTUALLY I EDITED THEM OUT

Let's say for the sake of the story, yes.
