Kiefer's Hero


Kiefer is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Roa. He is a cute, and kind kid, who loves to play his favorite pet named Nebres. He was so happy that he found Nebres roaming around for food in the street, until he decided to bring Nebres in their house. Every day he would feed his dog and almost devote all his time to Nebres.

When it was time for Kiefer to enrol in his class as Kindergarten pupil, he felt sad because he would have to leave Nebres everyday. But as weeks passed, Kiefer coped up as he found a new friend in school named Kian. Kiefer became busy with his friend and almost forgot about the presence of Nebres when he arrived home from school .Sometimes he felt irritated when Nebres would follow him. Kiefer’s behavior changed as he always shouted Nebres saying “Stay away from me!” and that day, Nebres cried. He never minded the tantrums of Nebres and he continued to dislike him until he found out that Nebres had left the house. Kiefer admitted that he was worried about the absence of Nebres. He went to the place where he first found Nebres but he couldn’t find it. Kiefer did not stop for searching Nebres ‘’ I promised to find you’’ he silently prayed.

It was a rainy afternoon, when Kiefer’s father did not arrived to pick him up after class. He almost cried because he was the only one left in their classroom. Kiefer decided to walk home alone. As he was in middle of the roadway surrounded by rubber trees, Kiefer was horrified as he saw a huge snake crawling near him. Kiefer shouted for help so loudly. He felt nervous that he couldn't stop his sweating, tears and even urinated in his pants. He closed his eyes and embraced the reality that no one could save him from danger. But he was shocked when he saw his long-lost pet Nebres biting the snake until it died. He ran fast towards Nebres and hugged him so tight.’’ I’m sorry for neglecting your presence and thank you for saving my life”. I promise to bring back the days where I always loved and cared for you, even if I have a new friend. Nebres barked as a sign of peace and understanding. The parents of Kiefer arrived in the area and they brought Nebres to the hospital. They found out that the snake was free from poison.
