The moral of my fable is: Take love when given even if you don’t want it!
My fable is:
Once upon a time there was a dog who was bored. His name was Dog. He was lazy and turned and turned.
Soon there was a cat who was so energetic that she was bouncing. “Come play with me, Dog!!! We will have fun!!” Cat suggested.
Dog turned and looked and shook his head. “No! I will not play with a filthy cat,” Dog replied angrily.
Cat turned and walked away.
A month later Dog was hated. He didn’t do anything. Cat came by. She saw him. “You should have played with me, Dog. Then you wouldn’t have such a hard time and be alone!”
“Well, Cat, you’re right. I should have played with you,” Dog said sadly.
“Can you still play with me, Cat?” he asked. Cat nodded. They played every day.

I panicked because everywhere I looked were injured people floating in the water.
J.J. and I got onto a raft. But instead of joining me, J.J. swam all the way out of sight.
