Depends on how dark it is and whether I'm allowed to wear gloves or not.

Seriously. I'd like to try and get them to remember all the dreams and love that they had as children, that we all had as children. All children love animals, but many grow up and stop having this love. I would like to take them back to what they knew was one of the most important things before they started to want money, fame and power
