Scott: Yup.

When did you eat them?

Scott: They were yellow when I ate them, but they were a different colour when they didn’t have their skin on. Was it light pink? I once thought I saw… They were eating fish and one liked the eyes and one didn’t. I can’t remember what the animals were. The one that didn’t like the eyes had the one with the eyes eaten off already.

What’s the best fish in the world?

Helen: A salmon.

Scott: The world’s biggest fish. In the library today, one of my friends had a book on whales and there was one of the world’s biggest whales. It was taller than a house and wider than a car.

How long would it take you to eat that?

Scott: To eat that big one, at least five days.
