7 | As a child, I wanted to be a bird. | ||
8 | I had watched Disney's *The Sword in the Stone*, an animated film set in medieval England about an orphan called Arthur who meets Merlin, a wizard. | ||

25 | I can't bring myself to say "I *am* a fox" in any serious context because I know I'm not one. | ||
26 | A fox wouldn't be able to type on a keyboard or come up with this text in the first place. | ||
27 | A fox couldn't have a job as a software developer. | ||
28 | A fox wouldn't look in the mirror and see a human. | ||
