Bob lives in the back room of an eldery lady's house, Bertha Reese. She has a dog, which Bob is totally disgusted with. He wants to poison the dog, but couldn't even get near it.
I went over to Bob's and asked him if he woud give me blue eyes. He looked happy I asked him, and so he said if I fed the dog some meat, and it reacts, my wish would be granted.
I threw the dog meat, and watched carefully. The dog convulses and dies, and I ran with my brand new eyes.
