Episode 1 Part 2

Life Isn't That Bad

Present time..

Since then, Donnie started teaching Leo how to read, using specific types of books for blind people.(Braille is a type of written language made for blind people. They are patterns of raised dots felt by finger tips. The dots can resemble numbers, words, letters etc.. )He asked April to buy these books. He told her to get him one that Leo could read and one that we could read. You know if Leo wants us to read it for him. Life isn't that hard like I thought it would.

I went out to the living room and found Leo sitting with Mikey, it looked like that they were playing a game.

Mikey an apple and placed it in Leo's hands.

"okay guess what are you holding?"Mikey asked.

"Well"Leo said as he started studying the object he was holding. After awhile of feeling it he stopped and started thinking. "I'm holding.. An apple."

"Man your good at this!"Mikey praised. Then he give me a signal, and told me to put my hands. At first I didn't want to but I also wanted to see if he'll know me.

"Ok ok now who's hands are these?"Mikey asked him excitedly.

Leo's hands started go through mine and started feeling my hands.

"Raph's hands."He smiled

"Wow your so good!"

"Hehe.. Thanks but can go back to reading?"

"Yeah.."Mikey said in a sad tone.

"Don't worry we'll play again after a while."he smiled trying to cheer Mikey up. Then he got his book and started reading.

"How do you not get bored of him?"I asked

"Heh I do. But it's okay at least he's happy."

"But how did you know it was me?"

"Well hmm.. Your hands are tough. More than Mikey and Donnie's hands."

"Oh geez thanks.."I don't like having rough hands. He put his book aside and got my hands.

"It's true that they are tough that means I have a strong brother that seeks to protect us.."He gave me a smile and kissed my hands. I couldn't help it but smile back. He let go of my hands and continued reading.

I got the same book that Leo is reading and started to look through it. I started reading few pages and it seems good. The story is set in ancient Japan it's about a warrior that always fought to keep peace in his village kinda an interesting.

"So what page are you on?"I asked him.

"Page 50."

"Wow when did you start reading it?"

"I think yesterday."

"You're a fast reader."

"I use to be faster when I ... Was.. Well..use..to"I didn't mean to upset him..

"Oh.. Um...I'm ..sorry."

"Sigh* it's okay.. It could've been worse."

"Well if it makes you feel better do you want me to read it for you?"

"Nah.. You don't have to."

"I know. But I want you."

"As you wish."

"Ok then. The great worrier U.. Usa.. Usag"

"Usagi."he said

"Yeah .. Um wait he's name is Usagi? Rabbit?"

"Well yeah um he is a rabbit, and its a fable story."He explained.(Okay I didn't mean to make fun of his name.. Fable stories are stories that have animals as characters. And yes Usagi is a character in the story Leo's reading.)

"Whatever.. Anyways. The great warrior Usagi protected his village.."
