chapter 1
Lion-o was at school and painting. "See this it's my imaginary friend Snarf," Lion-o said.
"Nice," said his friend Liosia.
"Talk about lame!" said a boy named Calon.
"Calon that isn't nice." Bengali said.
Lion-o sighed and got up to place his painting on the drying rack. "Don't let Calon get to you," Pumyra said.
"Thanks Pumyra." Lion-o said.
Lion-o then started to walk off and the ran into Calon both of them fell down. "Oops," Lion-o said getting up.
Then Calon decided to get Lion-o in trouble he started to cry and told the teacher Lion-o pushed him down. "But Ms. Valla I didn't we ran into each other." Lion-o said the showed her the scrape he just got. "See, I got this we both fell." he said.
Calon also had a scrape on his arm too. "Calon you know you shouldn't lie." Ms. Valla said.
Lion-o went over to help Calon up who pulled him down and hit him in the face. Lion-o was crying his eye was turning black and his wrist hurt because he landed on it hard when Calon pulled him to the ground. "Calon you are in big trouble young man!" Ms. Valla said.
"Why? He's different than me." Calon said.
"Calon your behavior has been very poor towards everyone. Principals office now!" Ms. Valla said.
"But," Calon said.
"No buts go!" she said.
"Yes Ms. Valla." he said.
Ms. Valla helped Lion-o up who was still sobbing. "Okay Lion-o let's get you to the nurse." she said.
Lion-o was sitting in the nurses office. "Lion-o your brother will be here soon you need that arm x-rayed." the nurse said.
Tygra came in quickly and saw Lion-o and began to check him all over. He was in full blown panic. "I'll be okay," Lion-o said.
"I will talk to Calon's parents about this I don't want this to happen again." Tygra said.
Once at the hospital the doctors examined Lion-o's arm. "It's a small hairline fracture he just needs a cast for three weeks." the doctor said.
Tygra was steamed his brother had broken bone he was going to have serious word with Calon's parents. The next day Tygra called his girlfriend Cheetara who was Lion-o's regular baby sitter to watch Lion-o so he could talk to Calon's parents.
Calon's parents were appalled by their son's behavior and told Tygra not worry anymore they were moving tomorrow to another city in another state. "Once again I am very sorry he has been like this since I got back from the army." his father said.
Tygra came back home and he knew Lion-o's birthday was next week so he decided to go take Lion-o to get an early birthday present. "Lion-o tomorrow you and me are going out and you are going to get something specail." Tygra said. Tygra knew Lion-o had been wanting a pet so he would let Lion-o have one.
Then next day Tygra blindfolded Lion-o and drove to a house that was an animal breeding place. He lead Lion-o up the stairs. "Glad you could make it, you arrived earlier than expected. I know these critters will be perfect my husband I came up with these animals recently and the vets have been notified for health care of them and your brother will get the first one. The first few will be like adoption." the lady cat said.
He took off the blindfold and Lion-o saw the kittens. "They are so cute!" Lion-o said.
"Well in a week they'll be weaned, then you can take the one you want home." the lady said.
Lion-o looked and at all of them and came up and jumped in Lion-o's lap. Lion-o petted and it and it began to purr. "I want this one." he said.
"Okay then he's your guy," the lady said.
They went to the pet story and picked up everything for the pet. Lion-o was plenty excited. He even chose a name. He was going to call it Snarf.
After the week ended Lion-o and Tygra picked Snarf up. "Okay he just got his shots and now he's ready to go," the lady said.
Lion-o and Tygra brought Snarf home. First thing Snarf did was look around the house. He found his bed and jumped into it. He made himself comfortable.
Tygra hoped this would be a better time for Lion-o.
