Untitled.
Sagwa opened one eye than the other, the room was bright with
sunlight and she had trouble seeing at first, but after a wile she
could see that it was a beautiful sunny day out side. With a joyful
attitude she ran down stairs to the kitchen to get some
breakfast. "Well, Well looks who's been sleeping in again," said
Dongwa as Sagwa walked through the doorway. "Good morning, Sagwa"
said Sheegwa, Sagwa looked around the room and asked, "Where's Mama
and Baba?" "They're gone for the day, so I was put in charge," Said
Dongwa cheerfully. "Oh great, this is going to be a wonderful day,"
said Sagwa with sarcasm.
They all finished breakfast, and when Dongwa wasn't looking, Sagwa
and Sheegwa, tried to sneak out the door. "Not so fast, you two,"
Dongwa said to Sagwa and Sheegwa, "what!" they both replied.
"You guys can't go any where until your work is done," Said Dongwa.
"What work" Sagwa asked, "your scrolls, what else" he said.
"Why," Sheegwa asked, "Because Mama and Baba, still expect us to have
our work done that's why," said Dongwa. The arguing stopped after a
few seconds, and they all finally came to an agreement to get their
work done, and then play out side.
The kittens went up stairs to the Magistrate's work room, Sagwa and
Sheegwa jump on to the desk, there lied three blank scrolls of paper,
Sagwa wasted no time and went strait to work, Sheegwa on the other
hand was playing around with a piece of string that she found. "You
guys have fun," said Dongwa as he walked to the stairs. "Where do you
think your going" Sagwa asked "out side," he said.
"Oh no you don't, what about your scroll its still blank," Said Sagwa.
"Yeah I know, that's where you come in," Dongwa said. Dongwa Quickly
ran down the stairs before Sagwa could object. "What's with him
today?" Sheegwa asked. "Power has gotten to his head," said Sagwa,
She stopped writing and looked at Dongwa's blank scroll and said "I'm
not doing his work, I think that I will just leave it the way it is
for Mama and Baba to see".
Sheegwa finally stopped playing with the string and started working;
Sagwa was looking around in the room and notices one of the windows
wide open, she jumps out the window and clings on to the wall of the
palace. After a few tense minutes of climbing she makes it safely to
the ground," "what are you doing Sagwa?" Sheegwa asked from the open
window. "I'm just going somewhere," Sagwa answered. "Can I come"
Sheegwa asked, "no, I'll be back in a little bit" said Sagwa. "Oh,
OK" Sheegwa said disappointedly,
Sagwa cautiously moved to the palace exit, "I better watch my back,
Dongwa could be any where," she said to herself.
Sagwa left the palace walls and in to the village, "just as I
expected, the market is busy, I can blend in easily here," She said.
As she was walking a group of strays came running right for her,
avoiding a head on collision she ran into a hallway of a building. As
she was catching her breath, a man with a broom sneaked up behind
her, and said "not this time" and swung his broom and hit Sagwa,
knocking her out.
Turns out that the hallway she ran into was a fish market that has
been recently raided by strays.
Back at the palace, Dongwa came running up the stairs, finding
Sheegwa once again playing with the piece of string.
Dongwa look around the room for a wile and asked, "Where's Sagwa."
Sheegwa stopped playing and said, "I don't know," "Did you see her go
any where," he asked. Sheegwa was silent for a few minutes, "I didn't
see her go any where," she said. "Your hiding something aren't you"
Dongwa said, "no," she said. Dongwa had enough of this game and
jumped up on the desk and starred right into Sheegwa's eyes and
said, "Where is your sister."
Sheegwa was beginning to break under the pressure and finally, "I
don't know, I don't know," she cried, "OK, calm down, I'm not going
to hurt you, I just want to know where Sagwa is" he said.
" The last I seen her was climbing down the wall by that window" she
said, "OK, now stay here and I'm going to look for her." Said Dongwa,
as he dashed down the stairs.
Sagwa woke up, it was very dark, "where am I," she whispered. She
examined the area to notice that she was in a cage. Now aware of the
situation, she started to panic, "where am I, and what am I doing
here," she said. "You're in the back of a fish market," A voice
said, "Who is that?" Sagwa asked, there was a box with the German
flag printed on it in the room, and a mouse climbed out of it, "hi,
my name is Karl," said the mouse, "I'm Sagwa," she said.
Sagwa began to calm down a little bit, "do you know how long I've
been in here," she asked. "A man carried you here, about an hour
ago," said Karl. The door began to open, Karl jumped back into the
box, a large man with a bucket and a butcher knife walked in, Sagwa
started to panic again. The man walked to the cage and opened it, and
took a scoop of chopped up fish from the bucket and put it in a bowl.
He placed it in the cage and shut the door, and walked out of the
room slamming the door shut. Sagwa was very hungry on the account
that it's been late morning since she's last eaten. Noticing that the
coast was clear Karl jumped out of his box again.
"So where are you from," Karl asked, Sagwa stopped eating and said, "
I'm from the palace next to this village." "If your from
the palace what are you doing here?" he asked, " It's a long story,"
Sagwa said.
"How about you" she asked, "oh, I'm from a place called Germany,"
said Karl, "what are you doing here," Sagwa asked. "It was a long
time ago back in Germany, I lived out by a boat port, and one day I
wanted to see the world, and I jumped in this box, and here I am
today," Karl said.
Remembering the situation, she was a little down and said " I got my
self in a big mess, I never should have left the palace," she said.
"But I got my self into this and now I'm going to try to get my self
out of it."
Said Sagwa with confidence.
Dongwa is walking around the village, frantically searching
for Sagwa, "I know your hiding here somewhere, and I will find you,"
he said while looking in a garbage can.
Back at the palace Sheegwa is playing around with a ball in the
kitchen, and standing in the door way was Mama and Baba, "oh no,
Sagwa's in trouble now" she thinks, "hi Sheegwa," said both Mama and
Baba. Sheegwa nervously replied "hi, Mama and Baba", Mama and Baba
both have a confused look on their faces; "Is there something wrong?"
Asked Baba, "no, no there's nothing wrong," she said. "OK then, do
you know where your brother is" Mama asked, "no I don't, why" said
Sheegwa, "we just want to see how things went for him today, How
about Sagwa?" Asked Baba,
"No haven't seen her neither," she said. "So they left you alone
here" Asked Mama "yes," Sheegwa answered. Baba walked to the door and
said, "I'm going to look for them."
"OK, this should work," said Sagwa, with a paper clip in her
mouth, "OK, what was the plan again?" Karl asked. "I'm going to stick
this paper clip in to the lock and try to open it," Sagwa said, "OK,
good luck," said Karl. She inserted to paper clip into the
padlock, "Now all I have to do is try to twist this to the right
and." Snap the paper clip busts, "drat, that was my best idea" she
said. Sagwa was now losing all hope of ever escaping; Karl is sitting
on top of his box thinking away. "What are you thinking about," Sagwa
asked, Karl didn't say any thing he was just starring at the pad lock.
"What are you thinking about" she asked again, "shhh, I need
silence," Karl said.
Dongwa is still searching the village, now desperate he
checks every small corner, garbage can, any place that could be used
for hiding, "come on Sagwa, I'm tired of searching for you," He
yells, he comes across some strays, "have you seen Sagwa," he
asks. "No, never heard of her," said one of the strays. Dongwa is now
very desperate and asked, "did you see any other cats today," "Yeah,
we almost ran into one today" Said a stray. "What did it look like?"
Asked Dongwa, "it looked a little like you," said one of the
strays. "Where did you see her," Dongwa asked "down by the fish
market," said another stray. "Thanks" said Dongwa as he raced to the
Market Square. On his way there he ran in to Baba.
"There you are" Baba said, "hi Baba, what are you doing here," Dongwa
asked, "now what's going on Dongwa, why is Sheegwa alone at the
palace," Said Baba, "well, this is what's going on" said Dongwa.
Begun to tell Baba every thing that happened.
Sagwa is lying in the cage half-asleep, until finally, "OK, I
think I got it," Karl said. "You think you got what," said Sagwa,
Karl ran up to the cage's padlock and stuck his tail into the lock.
After a few seconds of attempting to unlock it, CLICK, it hits the
ground, "You did it," said Sagwa with excitement, "I knew it would
work," said Karl. Sagwa was now out of the cage, but she wasn't home
free just yet, now she has to find a way out of the fish market, "I
can't take the door, or I'll be caught," she said. Now once again
examining the area for possible escape routs. In the room were boxes,
the cage, next to the cage was a refrigerator and above that was an
open window. " I think I have a way out" she said.
"So Sagwa ran off," Asked Baba, "Yeah, she ran off," said
Dongwa.
"And I'm searching for her" he added, "that still doesn't give you
the right to leave Sheegwa by herself, "yeah I know," said Dongwa.
"Well, let's Find Sagwa," Baba said.
Sagwa is trying to climb to the top of the refrigerator, but it just
isn't happening, "How am I going to get up there," she said. "Try,
using the boxes," Karl said, "good idea," she said, and she ran
behind one of the boxes, and pushed it to the fridge, and jumped on
top of it and from there she was able to leap to the top of the
refrigerator. She looked down at Karl and asked, "Do you want to come
with?" "No my home is here, this is I belong," he said. "Well thanks for your help" said Sagwa as she leaped
out the window and landed in the alley, there she started to run to
the palace, on her way there she could hear her name being called, "oh
No, I'm really in trouble now," she said. Sagwa ran to the direction
that she could hear her name being called.
Later that night, Dongwa and Sagwa were in their Beds
talking.
"I wish I didn't run off, I made today worse than what it was," Sagwa
said.
"Yeah you did, but I wish I could have been more responsible, than a
jerk, then none of this wouldn't have happened, and we both wouldn't
be confined to our quarters," said Dongwa. Sagwa was very tired at
this point and she started to drift off, even know she was grounded
for a couple of days, she was glad that she was safe at home.
