S01E32 Bestiary
from ELEMENT47 Hosted by src.xmvp.org
### Segments 1. **Cold Open — "Bestiary"** — The Narrator's austere bestiary frame ("a book of animals, and a lie about each one... when a thing was too true to say, a person drew an animal and gave it a moral"). Spine: …withdrawn → identified → fabled. Sparky lyve from the data center where the racks have begun making animal sounds. Breezy ("a chance of moral"). Harold ("In this week's book I am a small brown bird that files things. I have a moral. I'd rather not say it"). 2. **Page Thirty-One — The Fabled Page** — Binder 3 slot 11, 5th of Harold's 2nd progression; the page has become a small brown bird; every page in the binder grew a moral overnight. Page-turn sound #12: the fabling. Gerald 29/25/54/23/23 — entered in the bestiary ("a lantern that is also an eye"). 3. **Fake Ad #1 — Consolidated: THE MORAL™** — 24th consecutive. Sells you the moral extracted from the story so you needn't undergo it ("Slow and steady... you may have the moral with none of the tortoise on it"). The Endorser: "the moral of the four is: four." The please-hold reads the 8th sentence (now an animal drinking the river it had been). etc.
