Language: English
The rat men accused me of not liking stench, of not liking garbage, of not liking their squeals, of not liking to eat dirt. For days they argued, considering the question from every angle, finally they condemned me. You don't like stench, you don't like garbage, You don't like our squeals; You don't like to eat dirt.
