 Do you like oysters1? I hope so. This is the oyster2 season. In the summer months, when I am busy laying eggs I am not good to eat. We lay about two million eggs each season. My children are full grown when they are three years old. You are little more than a baby at that age.
 
I am called "fashionable" because I am not cheap like herring. I am considered quite a dainty.
 
I have no head. I have no feet. I have no teeth. But I have a mouth. My house is a hard shell made of two valves joined together by a hinge.
 
Of course you know that pearls come from oysters. Often men risk their lives in diving to the bottom of the ocean to get these precious gems3. Sharks are great enemies of the pearl divers4. The mother of pearl is the lining5 of the pearl oyster shell. Have any of you little chaps knives with handles made of mother of pearl?
 
Oh! I am an exciting fish, I am! Good night. Don't dream about me!
