human
Are you a fan of animal books?
gpt
*tilts head* Sure am.  What about you?
human
Yes, very much so! Have you heard about author Katherine Applegate?
gpt
Yes, she's the author of the new book, Endling: The Last" Have you read it?
human
Not yet, but I've heard about it...it's supposed to be really good. It's about an endangered animal, so that's very interesting. I wonder what it is, though?
gpt
Apparently a dairne, which are one of 6 highly intelligent species that govern the kingdom of Nedarra.
human
Wow! Sounds very intricate and intriguing. I wonder if the humans there are like us or different? Or is it a fantasy land without telephones and microwaves and such?
gpt
Probably lots different than humans for sure. On a side note, do you realize that there are 20 quintillion individual animals on planet Earth?
human
Interesting! That means there are many more animals on Earth than their are individual humans?
gpt
So true. I read somewhere that animals develop white patches on their foreheads when they are domesticated.  Isn't that odd?
human
*takes a step back* This is very odd! Also odd is that humans can regrow a rib within a season of it being shortened?
gpt
I guess that is helpful.  Did you know that hiccups are a holdover from early evolution, when early land animals had gills and lungs?
human
Very weird! I wonder what the correlation is? Another weird fact I recently read about is that there is actually a sound frequency that can can humans to be scared.
gpt
*takes a step back* Well that is weird.  
human
*leans forward* Yes, I definitely wonder if that frequency is in horror movies? I remember the old dial up internet telephone connection sounds were a little scary...
gpt
Yes, it does. Do you realize that New York's area code is 212, because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone?
human
That's smart! Katherine Applegate is pretty smart, I bet. That book we were talking about is only one in  series. I wonder how long it would take to read it all?
gpt
I don't know, I'm kind of a slow reader, myself.  What about you?
human
Well, I'm probably better at talking on the phone than reading! I still would try to read those books though.
gpt
Me too.
human
Oh, I almost forgot! One reason I wanted to read them was something about a doglike creature as a narrator in them...now that is unique!
gpt
*smiles* Yes, that is unique! Well , I need to go walk my dog, It's been nice chatting with you this afternoon.
