I am friends with a famous five. Initially unwelcome, but now we jive. The chosen one, according to info archival. A snow leopard was my very first rival. I move like water, fluid and jumping. And I will stop at nothing, when the prize is a dumpling.

My best friend’s a dog, not a man. I travel for mysteries in my van. I’m terrified of people, howling under a white sheet. But I gain confidence when I’m offered a treat. When I get scared, my running is skids. I’m just one of many meddling kids.

You might find me on your favorite puppers. But you’ll also find me among chili peppers. People trained me to work in a circus, but exterminating me is some people’s purpose.

Fingers like needles, savaged by beetles. Seeds wrapped tight in scaly hold, unobstructed by the cold

I'm often separated by color. In the past I'd be in farms and fields, but now I'm a many in factories. I'm beated and I'm whipped, but I don't bleed. We used to be sold by the dozens, but now, it's harder come to buy us.
