Felix the fox was known for preferring flying frogs over fancy frothy fudge. But one day, he stumbled upon a peculiar problem. A pack of picky penguins proclaimed, "Please, provide us with palpable proof that these peculiar creatures procure plentiful pleasure!" Perplexed, Felix pondered a plan. He swiftly summoned a swarm of squawking seagulls with a secret scheme: to sprinkle sparkly sequins on those soaring sassy frogs. The sky suddenly sparkled with shimmering scales, surprising the picky penguins. Perched on a precipice, they peered at the perplexing parade of amphibians, pondering their preference. Peculiarly, the penguins pirouetted with pure delight! They pranced, pranked, and partied like never before, professing their newfound passion for the extraordinary experience. From that day forward, Felix became the famed frog-fly supplier, pleasing picky penguins, and producing perpetual joy and laughter. And wherever Felix went, the sound of penguins proclaiming, "We love those flying frogs!" reverberated through the land, creating an atmosphere of pure merriment.
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
