To frame an encounter with a novel subject as a short, personal story by revealing its identity, teasing a potential action, adding a surprise discovery, and establishing an emotional connection before a positive resolution.
The Factual Identification

The Hypothetical Action

The Surprise Multiplier
Escalate the narrative by revealing a second, related discovery, transforming a singular event into a noteworthy pattern.

Resolve the suspense by confirming the potential action did not occur and reframing the interaction as a positive, friendly connection.
The Anthropomorphic Ritual
Deepen the emotional connection for the audience by assigning humanizing characteristics, such as names, to the subject(s).

I just found the cutest little fish. This is a striped burr fish. He's got so many spikes, and if he got scared, he would have puffed up like a balloon. This is how I found him sitting like a rock. But after that, I found another one hiding in the mangroves. Oh my good. They are so cute. I only held him for a minute because he really wanted to no. But he never puffed up and we became friends. I named this one Manny and the other one Oscar. Alright. See you better, alligator.
