BELIEVE ME, the last thing we ever expected to find was a Snark.

And I'm just as sure we were the last thing he ever expected to meet.

I wish I could tell you we responded to the situation half as well as he did.
But maybe I should start at the beginning. Trust me: I'll get to the Snark soon
enough.

My name's Karamojo Bell. (Well, actually it's Daniel Mathias Bellman. I've
never been within five thousand light years of the Karamojo district back on
Earth. But when I found out I was a distant descendant of the legendary hunter,
I decided to appropriate his name, since I'm in the same business and I thought
it might impress the clients. Turned out I was wrong; in my entire career, I
met three people who had heard of him, and none of them went on safari with me.
But I kept it anyway. There are a lot of Daniels walking around; at least I'm
the only Karamojo.)
