Become A Hair Distributor

Learning ...


I want to tell a story. Not long ago, I discovered a tiny kitten out there. He seemed scared and sad. His mother had to take off and left him abandoned. I, if nobody cared about him, his days would be numbered. I went to the super and bought her food, treats for cats. I opened a can of salmon, I poured on a newspaper and placed it near the corner with flowers and stones where I saw him refuge. The next day, I found the newspaper full of ants and no sign of the cute kitten. I picked up the remains and left another can, this time open but without tipping. In the afternoon, between the trees and bushes, daisies, I saw him with his nose in the corner and cheerful. So I spent a few days, leaving food and watching the tiny predators and thieves. Of course, even I could keep track of the cat, or going to fill garden ants. So I changed the cans of food for other less pasty. A handful here ... other than ... and a little more here. It seems that the change was not amused, because that is was degraded to the gardeners came to clean and left everything spotless. What will become of kitty? I thought when the memory goes over the day and is putting everything in place.
A few days later, I see him coming up the street, licking his whiskers and two spans over the body. I see. Stops. Scrutinize my eyes and escape to his corner as if he had discovered missing. "Oh, imp, you're looking for life on your own in the container the corner, I thought. And I was much calmer, knowing that he managed alone.
.
Today, after many months, I've seen him. Had grown so much that not even recognize him. It is beautiful, healthy and with a satiny sheen enviable. And I thought, like a helpless kitten has managed to survive on their own, without complaining, without trauma, without reproach, without any of that to what humans we cling to sympathize with our misfortunes. He does not question why no one took care of him while growing up, nor care. He licks his paws when needed and seeks the best corner of the garden to sleep.
When I went, I saw him lying in the sun and I think even threw me a wink.
Look what you learn from the animals ...
