Kitten story

A little anecdote about a kitten....

We went out for a walk the other day after lots of inside time due to bad weather. We ended up at one of the local playgrounds. Just as we arrived, a man ran down the road opposite us, dressed in exercise gear. Behind him ran an extremely cute, very small little kitten. The joy of life was in its eyes as it galloped - I could almost hear its kitten voice saying "Daddy! Wait for me! I want to come too!".

Look children, I said, what a cute kitten!

The man quietly cursed. He then stopped running, looked behind him, and with a smile scooped the little cat (who had by now caught up) into his arms. He started trudging back to his house.

We saw him again a few minutes later - sans kitten. He gave us a sheepish grin as he passed.
