The Woman, the Mink, the Cod and the Donkey
£9.99The woman is embarking on an important journey. She does not know her destination, but she knows what she’ll find when she gets there: an open pub. It has been a long time since she has been in one due to a strange, sad region of yester-year called ‘Lockdown’. On her travels she finds a mink. The mink is wise because he’s known the cruelties of life, having been maligned because Danish minks were found to be spreading Coronavirus. The woman helps the mink forget the cruelties of life through something as old as time itself: love. The mink helps the woman withstand the journey to the pub through something else as old as time itself: wine. As they wander on their quest, a cod and a random donkey tag along, and together they discuss their most valued life lessons, such as the value of travel insurance, and why it’s always important to wear breathable pants.
