Es usted un homo sapiens, mam|fero vertebrado† Se encuentra en el periodo de domesticacio  n, y ser|a colocado en una jaula al menor s|ntoma de ferocidad. En la escuela, en los laboratorios o en las oficinas de gobierno sabemos todo cuanto puede saberse de usted, de sus semejantes o de los otros seres en la escala zoolo  gica. You are a homo sapiens, a vertebrate mammal† You are currently being tamed, and you would be put in a cage if you showed any sign of fierceness. At school, in the laboratories and in government offices we know as much as can be known about you, about your fellow beings and about the other beings in the zoological scale.
