M's Rules for Hiking
Verbatim, as made up by M during a recent hike. (We're not sure what "including" means here, but this is the way she said it.)
1) Be careful, including.
2) Don't fall down the mountain.
3) This rule tells the other rules what to do: Be careful, including, and don't fall down the mountain or you could die.*
4) Be kind to animals you meet on the mountain.
5) Trees give us oxygen, thank you.
* the origin of this rule may lie in that at school they are learning that silent letters tell other letters to say their names. As in, the silent "e" in home tells the "o" to say its name.
