Who writes? I do!: The Cat The Mouse And The Bear

One sunny morning, Razor the cat was chasing Rfree the mouse, through the streets of Yosemite village in California. Rfree managed to run into a restaurant. Razor zapped in just to be stopped by the chef. “You bad cat! You’re scaring my customers!” he said throwing Razor out the door. Razor stood outside the restaurant waiting for Rfree to come out.

Meanwhile Rfree spotted a back door and ran out. Moments later her family came to take her home. When Rfree went to her room she thought of something. If I can befriend an animal that can eat Razor, that would be great. She had always hated him. She tried to keep her hopes alive and now she had a splendid idea.

Applying her plan, she went into the forest next morning. Running through the trees she spotted a bear going to its cave. Suddenly she thought, if I can make friends with that bear, surely will Razor be dead. After a good nights sleep, Rfree went into the cave but found nobody.

Every morning, for a month Rfree went to the cave but nobody was there. One morning Rfree went back to the cave just in time to see the bear coming in. The bear went in and Rfree got a little nervous and left. Next day, Rfree came back. Once again the bear was in sight. Just as the bear was going in, an ear splitting cry was heard.

Rfree knew this was his chance. He went and saw a cobra biting the bear. Rfree started biting the cobra, and the cobra went for Rfree. Immediately the bear escaped. Just as the cobra was about to kill Rfree, the bear, bit the cobra. While the cobra was recovering, the bear grabbed Rfree and ran to his cave.

“Nooo...” yelped Rfree thinking the bear is going to kill him. Inside his cave the bear took Rfree and said “My name is Ashba. What is your name?” My name is Rfree, he said. “You risked your life for me; what can I do for you?” Ashba told Rfree. “Well, I would love if you could make the cat that harms my family our friend.” “Am I going to town?” exclaimed Ashba. “Yay, I’m so happy!” “I got to go now, See you tomorrow” Rfree told Ashba.

At home Rfree told his parent’s what had happened. “That cat is finally going to be our friend and not eat us.” Jelpe (papa) sighed. Ryofu (brother) said, “I’m so happy!” “No more nightmares” Fhwa (mom) called.

The next morning Rfree took Ashba to town. Ashba hid under a white blanket pretending to be a ghost. When Rfree caught up with Razor, Rfree ran into an empty alley with Ashba behind him and Razor chasing him. When nobody was looking Ashba ripped the blanket off and snuck on Razor from behind.

Ashba caught Razor in his mouth. Then Rfree told Razor, “please stop harming our family or Ashba here is going to have to eat you.” “ I won’t harm your family ever again. I am very sorry and I hope you forgive me. I would love to be your friend.” Razor replied with fright. “We forgive you Razor.” Rfree answered. Just then, people started filing into the alley. “Oops!” jolted Razor, Rfree, and Ashba, and they ran down the street together.

The next day Razor called Rfree’s family and said “come over to my house with that Ashba of yours. I have a feast for all of you.” “Sure” they answered. Rfree called Ashba from his new bedroom at their house and told him what Razor had said. Finally they were all ready in their bests clothes to go to Razor’s house. When they arrived, Razor said “Hello.” to the family. They replied with, “Hello. Are you having a great day?” “Yes” Razor answered. When the family looked around they saw a humongous table set up.

It contained… Cheese for Rfree, Jelpe, Fhwa, Ryofu. Razor got it from the cheese factory. For Ashba Razor got… horse tails and grass from the meadow, Berries from the bush near his home, Aquatic plants from the lake (Razor had his friend Najda, the turtle swimming around the lake all morning to gather the delicacy for his special guests), Red ants from the forest (Razor’s friend Tiro, the monkey hopped from tree to tree to gather the fanciest ones). You get it. There was all the food anyone could imagine. They had a feast full of fun.

These days whenever Ashba, Rfree, or Razor needs help they go to each other. Using all their creativity and help from their friends, they built a mansion and lived happily ever after (together).

Moral: Standing up to a bully is good, but helping them build friendships is even better.
