Postpet Handbook
Chapter 5: Analyzing the Secret Diary
5.1 Different parts of a Secret Diary
A typical Secret Diary looks like this:

  Date
  I went to your friend's house.
  I played with pet's name. (or pet's name was not there.)
  I was slapped extent of slapping.
  I was patted extent of slapping.
  Comment

  ----------
  Your pet's name

Here are two examples:

9 February
I went to Yvonne's house.
I played with Momo.
I was slapped once.
I was patted till I laughed to death.
Is that rude?

PostMaster
10 March
I went to Mama's house.
Momo was not there.
I want to live like Bruce Lee.

----------
Yabe


The slapping, patting and comment lines may not be present in all diaries.
5.2 Patting
Depending on the number of times your pet is patted, a different phrase appears in the secret diary:
Times
The patting phrase
1
I was patted once
2
I was patted gently
3
I was patted a little
4
I was patted a lot
5
I was patted quite a lot
6
I was patted till I laughed to death
7
I was patted terribly
8
I was patted extremely
9
I was patted until system error appeared
10
(blank)

I have not yet tested on the effect of patting the guest pet over 10 times. It's very difficult to keep track of the count. If you succeed to obtain the phrase for patting over 10 times, please
email us.
5.3 The comment line
There is a variety of comments in the Secret Diary. Here are some interesting ones:

That was a beta version... - our pets seem to be quite wise!
Yes, lieutenant. Yes, sir. - pet in military service?
That's S-E-C-R-E-T between us. OK? - what secret am I supposed to keep?
Ah, it pops out! - what pops out?
