Pet
"But Amme, why can I not have a pet?" little Celegorm whined, taking hold of his mother's stained apron pleadingly.
Nerdanel sighed, taking her son up by the armpits and sitting him down on the counter to put them at eye-level. She had found by careful trial-and-error that this was the most effective way to get a point across to him.
"Turko, I have told you already, there are too many little boys running around this house-your Atar included-to add a feisty little animal to the mix. I'm sorry, dear, but for now you will have to be content with keeping company with all your wild animal friends in the woods."
"But Amme, you don't understand! I want a pet that always follows me around, that sleeps with me at night, that is really and truly my pet."
"I'm sorry, Turko, not today."
Celegorm pouted before springing down from the counter and going off into the woods with plans to relate all his troubles to a pair of obliging chipmunks currently residing in a tree nearby.

"Amme, Amme! Guess what, Orome gave me a dog! His name is Huan, and he told me he was all my own and to take good care of him! Orome gave me a dog!"
Nerdanel is going to have some choice words for that Vala...heh heh...
Please review!
Thanks and have great day!
