“For luck you carried a horse chestnut and a rabbit?s foot in your right pocket. The fur had been worn off the rabbit?s foot long ago and the bones and the sinews were polished by the wear. The claws scratched in the lining of your pocket and you knew your luck was still there.” LongStillsFeetHorseLuckBonesPocketsLong AgoWornRabbitsFurPolishedClawsChestnuts Book:Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition Source: Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition
“Because we lack sharp claws, aren't very fast on our feet, and aren't exactly endowed with lightning reflexes, it would be very difficult if not impossible for us to run down an animal, catch it with our bare hands, and tear through its fur and skin in order to eat it. Biologically, we are designed to be frugivorous herbivores eating mainly fruits, seeds, roots, and leaves.” IfsHandsWould BeRunningOrderDifficultAnimalImpossibleFeetTearsEatingRootsSkinsFruitSeedsLightningFurClawsReflexes Author:Sharon Gannon
