La capra era morta. Non c'è modo di aggirarlo, era senza testa e su un campo di polo al PS1 Polo di Long Island. Non sembrava muoversi, ma i ragazzi che suonavano erano tutti eccitati. Ti stiamo fornendo di controllare ​https://siticasinononaams.com/ e ottenere informazioni su casino non AAMS 2022. Dicevano "Quella capra sembra davvero morta!" La testa della Capra si contorceva di tanto in tanto, ma non faceva altro, questo mi ha portato a credere che forse questa non era la migliore idea che avessi mai avuto in vita mia.
