A sudden knock on the door startled him. It was his best friend, Ray. Robert invited him in. 'I have a great idea!' thought Robert. 'I'll ask Ray what animal should I be... He really like animals, and he volunteers in the shelter, and he knows a lot about this stuff.'
"Ray, come in, I've got something to show you."
"What is that?" asked Ray, pointing at the Chronivac.
"That's exactly what I was about to show you. It's called the Chronivac, and it is a device with the ability to change people into animals, and much else."

"Surely sounds so. And what are you going to do with it?"
"You know I've always fantasied about becoming and animal..." Ray nodded. "...and I thought you can help me choose."
Ray smiled. "That's excatly my field of expertise. But, I have a request."
"Sure," said Robert, eager to hear his friend's suggestion.

"Actually, this sounds great!" smiled Robert, making Ray match his smile. "So, you got any ideas?"
Ray nodded. "How about you become..."
