Stella and Tiger picked up Hammy.
They carried him to the log, and Tiger climbed into a house to get
medical supplies.
They wrapped bandages around the wound, and put alcohol on it.
Hammy winced in pain.
"Thank you, guys."
Stella carefully wrapped her arms around Hammy.
"I would never let anything happen to you."
Hammy felt a cringe of guilt.
"I always had a crush on you, Stella."
Stella looked at him, and smiled.
"That's so sweet, Hammy."
Hammy smiled, not as an act, but for real...
Stella & Tiger let Hammy sleep.
"Do you think the boy's gonna be okay?" Tiger asked.
"I hope so, Tiger. I hope so."
"Why did the humans do this?"
"I don't know. But I will get revenge."
"I will help you. And I'm sure Hammy will too."
"NO!"
"What?"
"I won't let him get hurt again."
"You're right, Stella."
"I know."
