This is going to be my first time uploading so bear with me for any stupid mistakes. Also the idea for this story comes from "Humble Beginnings" by GreyMaster2400.
Chapter 1: Difficult Decision
It was an average Friday morning at Mr. Ping's shop, he had woken up an hour before dawn as always and was on his way out back to get his latest shipment of vegetables. However, upon entering the ally, the radish crate tipped over and out fell a very young, very dirty, and VERY hungry baby panda.
Mr. Ping guessed the child to be no more than three and after some 20 minutes at waiting, assumed the child to be abandoned. Though he felt bad for the child, he knew he was financially stable enough to care for him. So, Ping led the small child into the shop where he fed and washed him.
After the child was fully bathed and fed, ping decided to try and figure out if he understood words. Ping brought him to he dining room and set him down on the table before sitting himself and asked the cub, " Young man, do you understand the words I'm saying?" After struggling for a bit, the the cub managed to studded out a, " Y-y-yes" Ping gave a small smile and proceeded to ask, " Do you know where you are young one," to which the cub replied with the shake of a head and a, "n-no" which caused Ping to frown a bid dejectedly. " What about your name, child. Do you know what it is?" Ping asked, the cub thought hard for a moment and finally said, " I-I think it was, Po" Ping smiled at the child once again and said, " Well Po you look quite tired. Come with me please."
Ping proceeded to led the small child to his room for a nap. While he was resting, Ping considered what to do and after much debate, decided that bringing him to the local orphanage was the best option. Several hours later, the young cub awoke was was greeted by Mr. Ping. " Po," Ping asked, " I do not have enough money to care for u both. So, how would you like to go to a place filled with other children where you can make friends" Po, thought he looked unsure by gave a small nod in agreement. And with that, the two left the shop and headed for the Bao Gu Orphanage.
I know it's short, but this is more like a prologue than part of the story.
