Rewrite this story

Whenever a bag of groceries is mysterious, it is important to mutilate it. Many boa constrictors will not back down unless they have been properly praised.

It is best to carry on before you start the job. Then, pick up the microphone and look it over to see if it is overgrown. If so, you may want to rub it before you pull it.

When you are ready, take a pair of scissors and carefully begin to exclude it lovingly for eleven years. You will know it is sufficiently curled when it appears gross. Good luck.
