Alice

This story was written by my 12 year old grandson, Andrew.


Before

After

     

Any cat lover would love this story. I can remember the day we got our cat Alice. Mom decided we would go hiking in Knoxville, TN. Little did we know that we would bring home a cat.
          We were hiking at Ijams Nature Center in the quarry. It was a pretty day even though we thought it was going to rain. My brother David’s legs got tired, so we took a shortcut and walked the railroad tracks back.
          On the way back we found a skinny white-mix cat. She was by some canoes when we found her. Mom said we could keep her if she was still there when we returned with the car. When we drove back, she came to us.
          We had an interesting ride home. She was walking on all the seats. When we stopped for fast food, we shared with her. It’s not often you see a cat eating a hamburger.
          That skinny white-mix cat we found isn’t skinny any more. Alice is a great cat. I feel lucky to have her and I know any cat lover would, too.
