FOUR AVOCADO SEEDS.

WAIT A MINUTE.
WE'RE DONE?
MY WEIGHT IS ROUGHLY
EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT
FOUR AVOCADO SEEDS?
THAT'S NOT GOOD.
The scale goes up as the seeds are weighed.
Beige says YOU ARE ONE
HEAVY HAMSTER.

Tumbleweed says I'M JUST FLUFFY.
HOW ABOUT SOMETHING
LIGHTER, LIKE CORN?
Beige says ABSOLUTELY.

AND THEY ARE VERY LIGHT.
BUT I'M NOT SURE YOU'RE
GOING TO LIKE THE TASTE
BECAUSE IF YOU
ASK ME...
Tumbleweed says CHOSES VERTES?
THAT SOUNDS FANCY.
LET'S TRY THAT.
Rob says THEY AREN'T EXACTLY

YOU SAY SO.
Tumbleweed says WHOA, THIS MIGHT BE IT.
CHOSES VERTES.
