All he's the same? The "hes" are not the same as "my friend" in the final sentence? I can't help but think of a French name associated with impalas here in the US, is that anywhere in the ballpark? |

When you say he gave you two foxes do you mean the actual animal ? Does your friend actually have two Impala's . Are they pets? Are sporting team nicknames relevant? Does he work with Aniamls? Is his occupation relevant? Same questions for your Friend. |
