While the others ate peanut butter crackers and drank juice, I returned to the site of the possibly-bait-for-a-trap gold coins. I examined them thoughtfully, looking at them from this angle, then that angle. The rays of sunlight from the ceiling seemed to be aimed only at the pile of coins, and that seemed suspicious to me. So, I made a shadow puppet of a three-headed finger monster attacking the pile of coins. The monster didn't seem to scare the goild coins, though.
I scratched my head to help me think (and the lump complained appropriately). As I did so, I squinted my eyes to see the pile of gold better, because the sunlight seemed brighter than before. That's when I discovered a new skill: If you squint your eyes and scratch your head just so, you can see the trap hidden in a pile of gold.
Now I can see it very clearly. The trap requires the weight of the gold to keep it from attacking. I quickly ran back to the dead rats and asked the group:
"Can I have these rats? Does any of you mind if I take these rats? Anybody?"
