I’m going on a rocket ship. Want to come with? If you do, you have to bring two items with you. I’m bringing a rabbit and a carrot. What will you bring. ---

Perhaps you can give an example of things one cannot bring? If this is the same as another game I know, I could bring puppies and kittens, but not dogs and cats. ---
