Now, that I've written 57, it seems impossible to me to cut the words to reduce their amount._Panda's peaceful appearance's just a disguise to conceal its disturbing inner world. Inside, it's a determined fighter against anxiety. To overcome it, panda spends hours devouring bamboo plants - a sort of stress-eating. So, here's the panda's advice: 'When vexed, when disturbed, when upset - try embracing a bamboo-based diet. No time for worries - make sure you chew properly'._(The question is _What does the panda say?_)Any help would be appreciated. Huge thanks in advance.
