105->''"My grandmother had an island. Nothing to boast of -- you could walk along it in an hour -- but still, it was a paradise for us. One summer, we went for a visit and discovered the place had been infested with rats. They'd come on a fishing boat and gorged themselves on coconut. So how do you [[ThePurge get rats off an island]], hmm? My grandmother showed me. We buried an oil drum and hinged the lid. Then we wired coconut to the lid as bait, and the rats would come for the coconut, and thum-thum-thum-thum-thum, they would fall into the drum. And after a month, you've trapped all the rats. But what do you do then? Throw the drum [[KillItWithWater into the ocean]]? [[KillItWithFire Burn it]]? No. You just leave it. And they begin to get hungry, and one by one... ''(smacks lips repeatedly)'' ...they start [[ImAHumanitarian eating each other]] until there are only two left. Two survivors. And then what? Do you kill them? No. You take them and release them into the trees. But now they don't eat coconut anymore. ''[[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil Now they only eat rat.]]'' You have changed their nature. [[RuleOfSymbolism The two survivors]]. This is what she made us."''
