Change a Letter III

[Glaurung]

Indeed - we don't want to lose you, as we don't have a spare.

[Tusky]

And we wouldn't want people to stare

[Jubal]

I should start looking after myself better, then, really :/

[Tusky]

I  think it's a stark realisation for all of us.

[Jubal]

It's like the time I found out that my pet tortoise was actually a shark in disguise all along.

[Tusky]

No doubt attempting to shirk his shark duties

[Glaurung]

Did he wear a shirt for added disguise?

[Jubal]

Yes - and a skirt!

[Tusky]

How did it afford all of those things? I thought that sharks were generally skint!

[Jubal]

It sold the skins of its enemies for coin.

[Tusky]

I think i once bought once actually,  for my sins

[Jubal]

I bought one for my sons.

[Glaurung]

Did they have tons of them?

[Jubal]

No, they were only little tots so I just bought them one flayed skin between them and they had to share.

[Tusky]

Very thoughtful of you! I've found that they do make good toys
