looking for food for them.

There was a hunt in the forest.

She was shot.

Wounded, she crawled back to the den

where she and the four cubs died.

This made the lime tree so sad.

And from then on,

the lime tree decided to have...

heart-shaped leaves.

Oh, yes, that's right.

Heart-shaped.

Am I boring you?

No, no. I'm just

looking forward

to how you'll get fishing

weaved into your tale.

You could start with the fly

on the wall there.

It's called a nymph.

It will tie in elegantly

with your discussion

about nymphomania.

A nymph is an early stage

in the life of an insect.

As a quite young nymph,

it was imperative for me

to get rid of my virginity.

Hopla.

I kind of knew this boy, J,

who had a moped.

So in my eyes he was

rather sophisticated.

I was 15,

and perhaps my girlish,

romantic expectations

were a bit high.

But he had good, strong hands.

I liked his hands.

Hello?

- Hi.

- Hi.

If I asked you to take my virginity

would that be a problem?

No, I don't see a problem.

So, um...

Where shall I go?

It's the f***ing carburetor.

I just can't work it out,

you imagine that?

- That's not very good.

- Hmm?

- It's not very good.

- No, it bloody isn't.

Ruins the whole idea

of having a moped.

You should probably take off

your knickers, yeah?

He shoved his cock

inside me and humped me three times.

Then he turned

me over like a sack of potatoes.

Then he humped me

five times in the ass.

I never forgot those

two humiliating numbers.

Three and five?

Those are Fibonacci numbers.

That may be.

In any case, it hurt like hell.

I swore I'd never sleep

with anyone again.

But of course that only

lasted a short while.

And now to get back

to your fishing.

A couple of years later,

I was at my friend B's,

and as always,

she had a new idea,

financed by her younger

brother's piggy banks

which she regularly emptied.

We put on clothes later known as

the "f*** me now" clothes.

The idea was a competition.

We were to go on a train trip.

B said there was

no need for tickets.

The one who would f***

the most men

when we reached the destination

would win the chocolate sweets.

May I interrupt here?

What you were doing when you

walked down that corridor.

You were reading the river.

Most of the large

fish stay sheltered from the current

to save energy,

and to hide from the prey.

Where the fish hides in the stream

entails a very

complicated hierarchy.

The topography decides where

the most attractive places are,

and the biggest fish

choose the best positions.

What do I do?

Smile and make eye contact.

But what if it doesn't work?

If you have to talk, remember

to ask lots of "wh" questions
