"Once Upon A Time In New York City"

Chapter 3, "Enter Burmie"

The 3 kits slept peacefully that night. But just as the sun came up they were thrown from their sleeping place by a garbage truck. They ran through the alleyway until they lost sight of it.

"Tonka, I'm hungwy!" Loki whined.

"Me too, I'm so hungwy, I couwd bite a human!"

Tonka looked around. Suddenly, the smell of hotdogs flew through the air. "This way." She said following the scent. The smells lead them to a hotdog sales-guy. Sparta ran strait for the sausages.

"Sparta, come back!" Too late. The hotdog guy kicked the poor kit out of the way. "Sparta, you can't just run up and help yourself."

"But I'm HUNGWY!"

"Sigh. there's gotta be an easier way."

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"One minute I'm in Central Park
Then I'm down on Delancey Street
From the Bow'ry to St Marks
There's a syncopated beat"

"Sing: Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm streetwise
I can improvise
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
I'm street-smart
I've got New York City heart"

A tan and brown Burmese kitten appeared from the top of a wall. "Man, you sure picked the wrong guy to get hotdogs from!"

"I can handle myshelf!"

"Whoa, hey don't get cocky lil' dude. You got guts to do that."

"Willy?"

"Please don't encourage him Mr. ummm"

"The name's Burmieo, but you can call me Burmie."

"Mistur Burmie? Can u help us git some food?"

"Sure thing, kids."

Later

"Wow Burmie. I can't believe you snatched those hotdogs out of that guy's hands!" Tonka said as they ate.

"It's a talent. So you new around here?"

"We just became strays yesterday."

"What happened, abandoned?"

"Our 'Free to Loving Home' box was destroyed. Now no one knows if we're adoptable."

"Oh, who want to be adopted anyway? Out here, you're free!"

"But isn't it hard to survive?"

"Well…yeah, but it's not so hard once you get the hang of it."

"But doesn't it take years to fully master?

"It depends on the cat. Everyone's different."

"I wonder how long it will take for us…"

"You know, I just had an idea. I'm always happy to help fellow strays, so maybe we an organization of strays in training."

"So they can learn how to fend for themselves, I like it!"

"Weel help too!"

"Well then, that settles it. From now on, we're sticking together!"

"Wike famiwy!"
