NARRATOR: *voice over* Warning! The next scene has been deleted for the benefit of our young audiences. Anyhow, to end the segment, let me leave you the moral of the story: “What is essential is not invisible to a cephalopod’s eye.” That’s a quote from the bestselling book, The Little Cuttlefish. Tune in with us again next week for another episode of a cephalopod’s life. Thank you and good day!

Y: Take away that mirror! That mirror is cursed!
M: Why? What happened?
Y: A monster is staring back at me. Throw it away, mother! I beg you!

*P suddenly interrupts*

D: *dumbfounded*

*B suddenly appears*

B: GOTCHA! *points to D* You’re the green beetle who escaped from my lab! *laughs triumphantly*
P: What are you talking about?
B: Watch this *throws a magic potion to D*
D: *attempts to hide from her cape but…too late, she suddenly transforms into a green beetle*
B: That’s what it really is, a green beetle that belongs to the family Scarabaeidae having a green gloss completely left-circularly polarized under any illumination. It doesn’t matter actually if the illuminating light is polarized or not. And that’s what makes them really standouts for having CP-vision.
P: Cool!
B: Yep! Thanks by the way! See you. *picks up the beetle*
