Mireille and Kirika perched at the very edge of a high cliff. Mireille was trying to draw a bead on someone far below, but was having trouble doing so from directly above her target.

Kirika glanced to her side, and noticed a large boulder near the edge of the cliff. "Mireille?" she asked. "Perhaps we could use that boulder instead."

"Oh, Kirika!" a disappointed Mireille said. "You should know that wouldn't work."

"Why not?" Kirika asked.

Mireille answered her with another question. "How many times did the coyote actually die when a boulder fell on him?"

"Not once," Kirika admitted.
