Today, October 24th, 2012, is the first birthday of our two
Kozmik Katz, Charles and Katniss, now no longer kittens. They shall get new cat toys; and starting
today, this blog shall run two weeks of stories starring Sogwa, my daughter’s
old favorite cat doll.
Introduction:
Who is Sogwa?
Once upon a
time a collection of stories needed an Introduction, but nobody knew what to
say. That was embarrassing, so Sogwa the supercat decided to do something about
it.
So last
night, in the middle of a dream, Sogwa walked right up to me and introduced
herself. She said, “Hi there! I’m Sogwa the supercat and I’m six years old. Who
are you?”
I mumbled my
name and my age, and I said, “What do you want?”
Sogwa said,
“I want to tell you my stories, for you
to report. So please ask me the reporter’s questions; Who, What, How, Where, When and Why.”
I said,
“You’ve told me Who you are; so tell me, Sogwa, What do you do for a living?”
Sogwa said,
“I do as much nothing as possible. I’m a purry furry cat, and a prowly yowly
cat, whatever suits me at the time. I’m a mighty hunter, a science whiz, and a
quarrel-mender; but I also like to take long naps.”
“How are you
so super?”
“I’m super
because I’m extra nice, and genius smart, and hero brave.”
“Where have
you been and when were you there?”
“I have been
to Heaven and Hell and Outer Space. I have visited the Future, the Past, and
the City That Only Kids Can See.”
“Why these
stories? And why tell them to me?”
“I tell you
these stories, so you can tell them to a certain special friend of mine and
yours. She’s one of my favorite people.”
“Mine too,”
I said.
And Sogwa
said, “That is why I dedicate these six stories
With
Love,
To
Hannah.”
That’s the
story that Sogwa told me last night, and now I’ve told it to you. The End.
