I really don't enjoy donating as much as I used to. =< Now I just want to get it done so i don't have to go up there anymore, but before I enjoyed going and having a funny story from Blathers.
There should have been an option in the beginning when you first meet him, where he says something like:
"This reminds me of a time when I was still in baby feathers...Hoop! My sincere apologies! I've been told I can go on anecdotal adventures that take a wee bit too long, hootie hoo. Would you like me to keep things short for you?"
And your options would be:
"Keep it short!"
"Please, go on!"
Then people who didn't want all that text to read through would get the short version and people who enjoyed his stories would get the long versions!
