watching my house being rebuilt when I realised my life was doing the

same thing.

After a month, Zan visited his house as it was being rebuilt. He had two

friends with him. The incident transformed him. He came out of the

negativity and made new friends. He realized that just like his house was

being rebuilt, similarly, his life was also being rebuilt.

While we sat there on the curb, planning my new bedroom, I heard

someone walk up to me from behind and say, “Does this belong to you?”

When I turned around to see who it was, I couldn‟t believe my eyes. A

woman was standing there holding my cat! I leapt up and grabbed her

out of the woman‟s arms. I held her close to me and cried into that

beautiful orange fur. She purred happily. My friends were hugging me,

hugging the cat and jumping around.

Curb: edge of the pavement

They sat on the pavement and were planning Zan’s new bedroom.

Someone walked up to Zan from behind and asked if the cat that she

was holding belonged to him. Zan grabbed his pet cat, held her close

and cried. On union with her master, the cat made a happy sound. Zan’s

friends shared his happiness and jumped around.

Apparently, my cat had been so freaked by the fire that she ran over a

mile away. Her collar had our phone number on it, but our phones had

been destroyed and disconnected. This wonderful woman took her in

and worked hard to find out whose cat it was. Somehow, she knew this

cat was loved and sorely missed.

Freaked: behaved irrationally
