The Orphan - Both Audio and Text - W-Illustration
While strolling past the window of a small department store, I spotted something I was not exactly looking for. The object of an almost never-ending small dispute, And I’d have simply walked away, had he not been so cute. “See Our Pet Department” was the way the small sign read. I thought about my husband, Roy, and what he’d always said. “I would love to get a dog, but, honey, we agreed, Right now we really can’t afford another mouth to feed.” I stood and smiled to watch the little puppy with its bone. He looked so soft and cuddly, as he lay there all alone. I told myself it couldn’t hurt to ask how much he was. I always watched for special deals…as every good wife does. To my surprise the clerk said, “He’s an orphan…but he’s nice. We had to bottle feed him…and he’s small…so he’s - half-price.” I liked the fact that he was tiny…knew the price was good… ?And asked myself, “Would Roy agree?” Then told myself, “He would!” And so this little orphan left his cage to start a life With collar…leash…a well-chewed bone…and very nervous wife! I wasn’t home for very long when Roy rolled in the drive. I wondered if he’d wind up pleased - or skinning me alive. I asked him how his day had gone, and what he’d like to eat, Then handed him the paper, sat him down, and rubbed his feet. I guess I overdid it when I said, “I love you, hon.” He slowly dropped the paper and asked, “Dear…what have you done?” “You know how much you’ve always hated throwing scraps away. Well…I have always felt the same, and so…while out today… “I found the perfect answer, and now, honey…just relax, And promise me you won’t get mad - ’cause - once you know the facts, “I’m sure you’ll be OK with this. I know you will agree. I found the cutest thing today. A friend…for you and me.” The frown upon his face would tell me things weren’t looking good. I told him if he thought that I should “take him back”…I would. But when I walked him back to where the sleeping puppy lay, I heard a few of the sweetest words that Roy would ever say. “I love you, dear, and promise you, my love will never end, And I am tickled pink that you have found us both a friend.” I cried a little, now and then, for several happy days As the puppy kept reminding me of Roy’s endearing ways. The dog would stay, and as time passed, we rarely were apart. He quickly found his way into the reaches of my heart. I taught him all the standard tricks… roll over… sit… play dead. He hates it when I brush his hair. He makes me scratch his head. And he will do most anything to wriggle close to me. And as the years rolled by I came to very clearly see, It wasn’t only he who needed me…I needed him, For when…through many nights, my crying eyes with tears were dim As I would weep in sorrow, for my Roy…who now is gone… He was - again - the dearest friend I’ve always counted on. And, you know what...the reason why it all worked out so nice Is I brought home an orphan…that I actually got - half-price.
