Tiger’s journey to planet M

Once upon a time there was a bored little cat sleeping on a tree. His name was Tiger and he had nothing to do but look very blue wishing something would happen.

Then one day Tiger said, “Hey!” As he was swept away by a river. He flew down the river and with a mighty sweep he broke into the atmosphere.

He bounced and trounced toward the nearest planet called planet M. He found the planet was covered in hay and Tiger lay on the moor. Soon he hears Moo Moo from a cow named Too Too. She said “that’s my cud! Go talk to King Sud for invading my personal bubble.”

Rolled in a heap, Tiger came to a leap running away from the cow. Tiger was as scared as a bat though he knew he was a cat. When he reached the castle of the cows a giant bull decided to pull Tiger through the doors. Tiger flew to his seat right beside Loon, the King’s soon to be daughter-in-law. Loon looked at Tiger and hummed a tune for no reason. Of course, Loon was happy! For she was never sappy and seemed to take a liking to Tiger.

King Sud, told of him lying in cud, said “off to the dungeons!” But little Loon could not resist for she had to insist that Tiger be spared. King Sud had to think as he linked his brain to his heart. Finally he said, “fine!” And Loon sang a tune dancing around with Tiger.

When it was time to say good-bye, Loon had to lie that she knew his place was earth. Loon gave him some milk and Tiger had to tilt as a bull kicked him back to earth.

Tiger awoke with a jolt that felt like a lightening bolt. Tiger hummed a tune just to see Loon’s milk sitting on the grass.
