Kitten Story

I was walking down the street last night and I came across a kitten, mewing in the darkness.  I thought What a cute little thing and I put it in my backpack.   Next, I walked until I noticed a second kitten licking at a storm drain.  "There's no food in there, little one" I said aloud and put it in my backpack.   I walked a bit farther and found a third kitten rolled up in a carpet.   This third kitten went into my backpack and I was happy to be so rich with kittens. 

As my walk continued, I came across an apple core.  Someone must have enjoyed you, apple core, because the apple that was once you is gone.  I picked it up and threw it in a bush.  Next I found an orange rind and without a thought, passed it by with distain.  Finally, I noticed a banana peel after slipping and falling by its cruel design.  My collection of kittens was uninjured.

After walking heartily for a short while, I thought to let the kittens roam free, for they were being loud and scratching at my back.   I settled on making a kitten home after briefly considering loosing them in a building entryway.  I took off my long sleeved T-shirt, put a kitten in each sleeve, heads like hands and the third at the neck.  You look silly, I remarked to the scene and sprinted down the block.
