058: Who the, is Fabio
The name was suggested by Erica J. Chen, a reader of the newsletter.
And here’s a story about Fabio written by
It was Wednesday morning, and Fabio the lion was putting two slices of bread in the toaster. He ate eggs on toast yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. He liked eggs on toast, but today didn't feel like an eggs on toast kind of day. He wanted something new. A food adventure! He asked himself, "What is something different I could try today?" And that's when he discovered a shop around the corner that sold special sauce. Creamy, tangy, marvelous special sauce. He devoured the special sauce and enjoyed licking the sauce mustache off of his face when he was done eating. On Thursday, as he put two slices of bread in the toaster, he wondered what his eggs on toast would taste like if he put special sauce on top. He had to try it... Amazing! But tomorrow, he'd go back to regular eggs on toast. Special sauce was special, right? On Friday, Fabio the lion brought back a whole bucket full of special sauce... (to be continued).

Fabio is a very unusual lion, he is mostly friends with vegetarians and manages to stay friends with others without eating them. Fabio sometimes wonders if other lions would be satisfied with eggs for breakfast. Perhaps this special sauce could help keep his vegetarian friends out of danger!
Ha ha! Glad you enjoyed my partially completed "crappy first draft" enough to share! I love your Fabio character.
