For a really long time I roamed the island on my own, but finding food proved to be more and more difficult. Increasing traffic made things even more hazardous. My name is easy to remember, for I was found in the district of Bringamosa. For a few weeks, however, I have a nickname: Smiley. Because I always smile when I get a carrot from a volunteer or a visitor. People think I am laughing, so that is fine, as I will get even more carrots that way. I even `smile’

when people ask for it: I lift my lips when they say smile.
