Adopt a Snow Leopard Today Part 1

Adopt a snow Leopard the TV ad said Just £5 a month So I signed up straight away I forgot all about it until there was a knock on the door one day I opened the door and just saw two delivery men run away. And there before my door was a large crate that wasn't there before There was a label saying ''this is Fred handle carefully or you maybe dead''. Well I scratched my head then the penny dropped as I heard a mighty roar Never had a cat as a pet before. I opened the crate carefully and much to my surprise With a huge snow leopard with massive sharp teeth and wild angry eyes I didn't know what to do but I needed new underpants and I was petrified. ''Here kitty'' I said I guess it wasn'twell fed by the way it bit my leg ouch! I was as angry as a thunderstorm and shouted very loud and Fred got back in the cage at the back and coward. Soon I realized Fred was just a scaredy cat and not a fearsome monster at all He loved having his belly stroked and playing with a ball. We'd go everywhere together and in the stores we'd always get straight to the front of the cue We'd run through through fields of lavender and taste the morning dew. Then one morning I got a letter ''We want Fred back he's so rare we want to put him in a zoo'' I thought not bloomin likely but what could I do? To be continued. On a serious note, Snow Leopards are very rare, so are mountain Gorillas, only 180 left. They are trapped and killed for trophies and fur. They were here long before is. they need our help. The World wildlife fund and other such charities rely on donations. Peter Dome.copyright.2013. Dec.
