The Gift
A
while ago, when the world was mostly untouched, there was a little cat
named Eumin. He was a gray kitty, with big green eyes and speckled
whiskers. He loved to run about the meadows and chase butterflies.
But
one day Eumin met another cat in the meadows.She was a lovely orange
tabby with bright blue eyes. Her name was Ymmom. Eumin thought that she
was the most wonderful cat in the world.
And
so the two cats became friends. Ymmom taught Eumin how to catch mice
and Eumin showed Ymmom how to catch fish. They were happy living
together for many months.
Some
time later Eumin realized that Ymmom’s birthday was very soon and that
he did not have a present for her. He knew she liked bicycles, but he
did not have enough money for a bicycle. He knew she liked chocolate,
but he didn’t where to get any chocolate. He knew she liked cheese too,
but he didn’t have enough time to make cheese. It seemed liked Eumin
could do nothing for his friend.
Eumin
decided to take a walk in the meadow to clear his mind. As he strolled
around, he noticed a daisy was open to the sun’s light. This gave him an
idea. a wonderful, fabulous, amazing idea.
On
Ymmom’s birthday, Eumin watched her open beautifully wrapped packages.
Finally it was his turn. He presented his gift without twitching a
whisker. Ymmom was delighted. Eumin had picked a beautiful daisy just
for her. She took out her favorite vase and filled it with water. Then
she set the flower delicately inside it.
Of
all Ymmom’s presents, Eumin’s daisy was her favorite. The two cats are
still best friends, and they love each other as much as I love you.
