the botanic gardens is a very hot place, nowadays, not that there's many people visiting it, rather, the humidity and the hot sun make it a real sweaty oven. that's good. sweating is good.

marathon man took it easy, like most of the visitors.

he saw a gal walking her giant-size dog. she pulled it to the edge of the pond where the swan was being fed by the people. she said to the dog, "look, swan."

the dog squealed a little as if it knew what a swan meant. it went near the edge of the pond, and straightened up its neck and stared at the swan, and the swan also gave it a one-kind-of-a-look.

marathon man asked, "wow, so big but so cute, what kind of dog is it?"

"alaskan dog."

"wow, nice. does it bite?"

"no. it's a very tame dog. you like it?"

"yes, i like."

"are you single? "

"yes."

"as in very single? no gal fren?"

"yes."

"then you should have this dog. i can sell him to you. it's very macho and caring kind of thing, and sure will attract a lot of beautiful gals."

"but i hate to keep dog."

"don't worry, it's easy. i can teach you."

"how'bout toilet manner, that i cannot cope."

"i will be at your house to train him until he knows a fix place to do his job, daily, also i will be with you to teach all other doggie things, until you are comfortable with him."

marathon man looked at the dog, and he really liked the dog, and he looked at the lady, he liked her more than anything else......

but, he did not buy the dog, instead he bought her heart.
