Once upon a time there was a young girl named Susan. Susan was 10 years old and lived in Miami, Florida. While walking home from school one day, a Blue Tiger jumped out from behind a pebble and tackled Susan to the ground. But just when she was about to let out a scream for help, Susan realized that the Blue Tiger was only licking her face, not trying to bite it off. At that moment, Susan decided to keep the Blue Tiger as a pet. And on the way home she decided to name her pet Blue Tiger ''Christina.'' When Susan and her new pet finally got home, guess who was standing on the front porch? That's right, it was Susan's mother, Leslie. And boy was she surprised to see a Blue Tiger following Susan into the yard! ''What in world is that?'' shouted Leslie. ''It's a Blue Tiger,'' answered Susan. ''Dah, I can see that, Susan, but what on earth is it doing here?'' said Leslie. ''It's my new pet!'' answered Susan. ''Oh you think so do you?'' remarked Leslie. ''I wouldn't get your hopes up. You know how your father hates Blue Tigers. But, well, I suppose you can keep him until your father comes home.'' And with that Susan grabbed Christina by the scruff of the neck and led her new pet into the house--even though she knew her father was probably going to dissaprove. Once in the house, Susan and Christina played and played, that is until Susan's favorite television show, ''SpongeBob,'' started. At that point Susan forgot all about Christina having an unsupervised run of the house. That is until half way through ''SpongeBob,'' when Susan was brought back to reality when she heard her father shout, ''Ahhh!! Susan! Get your butt in the bedroom...NOW!!'' With that Susan rushed into the bedroom to see what all the fuss was about. When she entered the bedroom, there stood her father, John, pointing toward the lamp. ''Will someone please explain that?'' asked her father. Then, as Susan followed her father's finger to where it was pointing, she instantly knew what her father was so upset about. There, smack dab in the middle of the lamp, was the biggest pile of Tiger doo-doo she had ever seen! ''I don't EVEN want to know how that got there,'' said John. ''But you had better get it cleaned up now! And you had better get rid of whatever it is that could have done such a thing!'' Well, knowing her father as well as she did, Susan knew there was no sense even asking her father if she could keep Christina for a pet. So without hesitation, Susan set out to find where Christina was hiding. After a few minutes of looking, Susan discovered Christina crouched beneath the table that Susan did her drawing on. ''Come on, Christina, it's time to find you a new home. And hey, don't look at me that way, I'm not the one who did the dirty deed on the lamp!'' scolded Susan. ''Thanks to you I'll never get to have my own pet Tiger!! And with that Susan led Christina out of the house and down to the local Walmart. They had a pet section and Susan knew the owner would find Christina a good home. So after saying good-bye to Christina, and thanking the owner of Walmart, Susan walked backed home and attempted to dround her sorrows by slamming down a half dozen Cherry Cokes. But Susan's pitty party came to an abrupt end when her father reminded her about the mess she had neglected to clean up. And low and behold, midway through the clean-up, Susan suddenly became thankful that someone else was going to have to do it from now on. The End.
