A Story with Little or no Conflict

Pearl woke up in the morning. It didn’t matter what time she woke up because she was a cat. She rolled over in her bed and there was breakfast all ready to go. She ate until she was full. Then she had a drink of water. For the next hour Pearl cleaned herself. After she was done it was time for a nap. So she took one. When she woke up from her nap she had a little snack then some more water. Over to the window she went. The sun was nice and bright so she went outside. As she lay in the yard for a bit birds flew by. If she wasn’t already full she would have reached out and had another snack. Around dinner time her owner came home. Pearl loved her owner. She was always so nice, bringing home new foods and the occasional pint of milk. She sat with her owner for a while and got a kitty massage. Pearl liked to do this and she felt that it was her duty since she belonged to the girl. Some of the other cats in the neighborhood called the humans their pets or simply caretakers. But not Pearl. She didn’t have a problem being owned by anyone. It was less demanding than trying to control ones own life plus her owner never treated her badly so there was no reason to rebel. Her owner ate and so did she. Her owner watched T.V. and so did she. Then it was time for bed, so she went to bed. It was nice knowing that tomorrow she could wake up and have all the same excitement over again.
