~~Andy's POV~~

G'day, mates! It's Andy here.

I was just heading into the cafeteria to have a snack when Alan called me over.

"Andy. Look what I'm making for Myf" he said.

"A picture frame. Decorated with rocks. Why not throw some ugly pine needles on it while you're at it" I said.

"You don't think Myf will like it?" said Alan.

"Listen, Alan. This is between you and Myf. So if you wish to give her that sloppy tchotchke so be it" I said.

"Hmm. You are really good at giving presents. What do you think I should give to Myf?" said Alan.

"Since you asked, I say think more personal. Ask yourself. What makes Myf Myf?" I said.

"Well, she loves being on Spicks and Specks. And she once told me she likes woodchucks" said Alan.

"That's it! You should get her a woodchuck! Ka-blam! Gift idea domination" I said.

"You really think Myf wants a live animal?" said Alan.

"Certainly more than a dead one" I said.

Alan tilted his head as if to say "makes sense".

"Trust me. I saw a woodchuck burrowing in the lawn. Just catch it and slap a bow on it" I said.

"Well, I hope you're right. I really want Myf to like her present" said Alan.

"She will. Have I ever been wrong about a gift?" I said.

"Sometimes. Like when you got Hamish a dictionary. He just kept hitting you in the head with it" said Alan.

"But he loved it. I saw him smiling right before I blacked out" I said.
