Jolly the Good Friend (Inspired By True Events)
It all started on a sunny afternoon
while precious’s mother was taking a shower
she left little Precious(her baby girl) on the couch
unknowing to her
little Precious, the good manoeuverer
had crawled out of her room
to the living room
and was heading straight for the swimming pool
There came Jolly (her little dog)
her good buddy
her trusted soldier
and little friend
as he wagged his tail in a hot pursuit running to save little Precious
from her eager self
Horizontally and vertically blocking
and hindering little Precious
as she headed for the danger zone
little Jolly barked out loudly-severely
looking very worried
as he moved around sideways and in circles
delaying, obstructing -preventing little Precious
who was innocently persistent on a mission to the swimming pool
He ran quickly into the house "to raise an alarm"-to deliver the news
barking persistently in front of her room
unconvinced that she got his attention
he hastily manipulated his way using his teeth to unlock his way through
as he swung his neck in a hurry
he ran inside as quickly as possible
not losing sight of little Precious's movements
(he ran back and forth, between precious mother's room and the swimming pool)
he barked loudly as he stood in front of her bathroom door and also denied little Precious
access into the swimming pool
scratching his claws against her bathroom door
desperately trying to get her attention at all cost
The bathroom door was unlocked as Precious’s mother‘s suspicion reached its peak
Jolly quickly bit her by the towel and dragged her to the scene(Unknowing to the mother
she struggled with little Jolly to let go of her towel)
little Jolly ran as fast as he could to make the final block
as little Precious was about making her last move into the pool
She rushed to deliver a warm tight hug to both little Precious and little Jolly as she
carried both of them in her arms
she danced around with mixed feelings in appreciation of little Jolly's efforts
as tears of joy streamed down her cheeks.
