Catching a Coelacanth

It was raining in town, and I was okay with that. But the rain seemed to put Hopper in a poetic mood.

Hopper: Rain tonight... Rain rain rain. My soul! It cries the tears of a million storms!

Static was still sick, so I gave him some medicine once again. He seemed very grateful and full of snot.

Static: Thanks for bein' there, J-rock.Big Top asked me what he should have for his after-dinner beverage. Before I could answer, he said RAIN…in his ears! Ew! Never drink rain water out of your own ears! Or anyone else’s ears, for that matter.

Big Top: What should I have for my after-dinner beverage tonight? RAIN, in my ears!When I visited Rhonda, I saw that she was all packed up and ready to move out of town! I’m not a big fan of Rhonda or anything, but I didn’t want her to leave this early. It’s only been a month. I haven’t had a chance to bug her much yet.

Rhonda: Maybe I should stay after all... bigfoot.I spotted Dr. Shrunk in town, and he offered to teach me a new emotion. I chose sorrow.

Shrunk: Particularly when I think about...all the bugs his open mouth must've caught.I took advantage of the rain by fishing for a coelacanth. And eventually, I actually caught one!

Message after catching a coelacanth: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I caught a living fossil!After donating it to the museum, I continued fishing and bug-catching. I didn’t catch another coelacanth, but I did catch some other valuable fish and bugs. I was finding a lot of atlas beetles in particular.

When I was done, I took the money from my catches up to town hall. I made my largest mortgage payment yet, an even 100,000 bells.
