I’m a fox, bitches! A stone-cold fox! Woohoo! Sex machine! Um, anyway, almost 52% of people will be reincarnated as a higher form of life than me. There’s quite a bit of room for improvement in my life. If I continue to follow my current path, many obstacles will await me in my next life. ---

I’ll be an alligator. "Almost 39% of people will be reincarnated as a higher form of life than (I will). (I’m) not perfect, but (I)'ve led a better life than most. With a few changes now, (my) next life could be even better." Sounds about right.
