Granny’s Puppy
Ettore should really keep his hands out of Falco’s pockets.
I found Mayann’s little folk rhyme fragment in a book from 1922 called Negro Folk Rhymes: Wise and Otherwise, edited by Thomas Washington Talley, chemistry professor at Fisk University, choral singer and conductor, folklorist and much more. You can read the book on the Project Gutenberg or the Internet Archive at your own discretion.
Puppy howl, an’ Devil shake! <3 Mochi is so utterly evil in this entire scene …
Ettore reminds me of the worst pickpocket I ever met, at a market in Ulan Bator, who rummaged for several seconds in my trouser pocket and only found my snotty handkerchief :(
