Looking around at the exotica, she notices a very
life-like, life-size bronze statue of a rat. It has no

the bronze rat?Twelve dollars for the rat, a hundred dollars for the

the bronze rat as far out into the Bay as she can.

after it, and are all drowned.The woman walks back to the curio shop. Aha, says
the owner, Ill bet you have come back for the
