| Hadley didn’t understand. He had always been a good cat He’d always given his people lots of love. And he’d been their baby. But, now, there was this human bean .Hadley was in second place. He really didn’t like the Bean very much. Bean crawled around and ate Hadley’s food; but when the Hadley ate the Bean’s food he got punished. And the Bean played with Hadley’s toys, and made lots of messes, Worst of all, though, the Bean seemed to like Hadley. Sometimes, the Bean would sneak up on him, and grab Hadley’s fur and pull his tail, but when Hadley swatted the Bean to tell him “No!”, Hadley would be punished. Hadley always got punished but the Bean never did. It wasn’t fair. The only good thing about the Bean was when he was asleep. Then Hadley could get up on the bed, and cuddle down in that nice warm spot where the Bean’s legs curled around under the blankets. Then, suddenly there was a “No, no, no!” The Bean had been punished, and he cried and cried. Hadley knew how the Bean felt. Hadley went over and rubbed against the Bean’s leg. The Bean looked down and smiled, and scratched Hadley’s ears very nicely. Hadley purred. Things,were going very well until one day when Hadley’s people came home with a baby brother for the Bean. The Bean didn’t really like his baby brother, and he told Hadley so. Hadley, though, knew it would be okay. |
