Unappreciated gift

This was not my official Christmas gift. That is stored in the wardrobe until Christmas Day. But as a sign of my  appreciation  I dropped a small lizard tail in the bedroom. I found it where  the lizard had shed it in my enclosure. Lynettea put it outside. She was not appreciative. Quite  the  opposite.
I hardly know why I bother. After all it is work for me, collecting these small tokens.
If I collected a lot, she could make lizard stew. Her friends might like that on Boxing Day, much more nourishing  than the vegan  food she is planning to offer.
