When Otis saw that Remo was considering the Rooster’s proposal, he turned to
the bird and said, “Are you out of your mind?” To disregard Remo’s feelings in
that way was quite out of character for Otis who was, as a rule, very sensitive
to the feelings of others.

that Remo would be relieved to be spared the ordeal of such an endeavor.

on, “Just consider for a moment traveling through the woods with all its
dangers, making our way into the treacherous Alps and across dangerous
glaciers, and all the while carrying some expensive Ming Dynasty jade vase, and
trying not to damage it.”

“But Otis,” said the Rooster, “we are not going to be carrying any Ming vases
on our travels.”
