"We're unfortunate
in being in a biodiversity hot spot,"
said the Princess.
"We are careful about whom we hire.
We don't need people
Who might get too interested
In plants or animals.

And find things out.

What a real university
is all about."

"I'm really furious," huffed the Princess.
"Those proposed endangered species
Are in the Empire Cave system,
Which is right beneath my palace."
