After "a stern talking to" failed, I attached a cow-bell to the sled.

"Now," I thought, "it will jingle loudly if he tries to carry it off." Unfortunately, the ringing got rather annoying, I quickly found out. I tried to take the bell off, but Captain had taken a liking to the ringing and attached two bells to it while I was sleeping. With each passing day the number of bells tied to the sled increased exponentially, no matter what I attempted. I tried cutting the bells off and throwing them away into a deep snow crevasse. I tried burning them. I tried crushing them. Nothing worked. The number of bells grew with each destructive campaign of mine."Where did they keep getting all of these G-damn bells from?"
