COOKIE'S NEW FRIEND
Born 1969, F, from Miami, United StatesCOOKIE’S NEW FRIEND
Cookie is a very happy yorkie who loves to play and go on all sorts of adventures. So one day when her mother asked her to go to the local store to pick up some lamb bones for dinner, Cookie was very happy to do it. For in her mind every time Cookie’s mom asked her to go anywhere she thought of it as if she was going on a new adventure rather than doing some kind of chore.
Soon Cookie was inside the store picking out the juiciest bones she could find. There were two ladies standing a couple feet away from her talking rather loudly.
I swear sometimes I think that husband of mine has the courage of a cat stuck outside during a rainstorm, Mrs. Crabby was telling Princess.
Excuse me, Mrs. Crabby, but what is your husband so scared of? Cookie asked.
Cookie were you listening to our conversation? Didn’t your mother teach you that it's not polite to listen to other people’s conversations? Mrs. Crabby snorted.
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to, but you were talking kinda loud so it was hard for me not to listen, Cookie mumbled.
Cookie have you ever gone to the mountains behind the shore? Mrs. Crabby asked.
No why?
Well, never do, cause there’s an old mean fire dragon who will eat anyone who dares to enter the mountains, Princess answered, and it will eat you too if you try to go there.
But if nobody has actually ever gone there how do you know it's true? Cookie asked.
Cookie you shouldn’t ask so many questions, there just is! Princess answered.
Cookie walked away trying to make sense of what she just heard. I bet there really is no dragon. I bet those two old ladies just made up that stupid story, because they were upset that I interrupted their dumb conversation, Cookie frowned. Tomorrow morning I’m going up to those mountains and see for myself if there’s any dragon living there.
So the next morning after an early breakfast Cookie asked
her mother if she could go exploring.
Okay Cookie, but don’t go too far, her mother smiled.
Cookie walked and walked for a very long time until she reached the entrance that led towards the mountains. She started to get a little nervous. What if there really is a dragon and he wants to eat me, what am I going to do then? She thought to herself. For a second Cookie wanted to turn around and go back home. But a little nagging voice inside her head urged her to go on. Shortly she started to climb the mountain until she reached the top. Finally I made it! boy I can see the whole shore from up here! Cookie was feeling proud of herself when she suddenly remembered why she climbed the mountain in the first place. So far so good, no sign of any dragon. I knew there wouldn’t be, she thought.
It was getting late. Cookie knew that she had to go back before her mommy started wondering where she was. She was half way down when she tripped over a loose rock and fell.
Oh wow! That was some fall. are you okay? A soft-spoken voice asked.
Cookie slowly opened her eyes and cried out, Oh my god! I’m so sorry miss dragon, I never meant to climb your mountain without permission. And if you don’t eat me I promise never to do it again!
The dragon just stared at Cookie for a moment then burst out laughing. I’m not going to eat you, why would you think something like that?
Cookie was very scared as she repeated the story that she had heard the day before at the market. And after she finished she was certain that the dragon would eat her then. But the dragon just laughed even harder.
What’s your name little one?
Cookie.
Well, it’s very nice to meet you Cookie. I’m Joy. why don’t you climb on my back and I’ll take you down the rest of the way.
Cookie seemed hesitant to move.
It's okay Cookie, I promise not to eat you on the way down. Joy laughed.
Cookie slowly climbed on her back and soon they both were joking and laughing as they slid the rest of the way off the mountain.
Wow! That was fun! Cookie cried, once they reached the entrance. But I better go, my mommy is probably having a cow not knowing where I am.
I’m sure she is, Joy agreed. I hope that you come back and visit me sometimes. I do get a bit lonely up here having no one to play with.
Oh I will, and Joy I don’t know why they talk so bad about you, you’re
one of the nicest dragons I’ve ever met!
Joy laughed. I thought I was the only dragon you’ve met so far? But to answer your question Cookie, my grandma taught me a long time ago that no one can ever tell by just hearing about someone or seeing them what they’re really like or what they feel. I’ve been living inside these mountains for many years now and just because one person spread some false
story about me, the rest of the town chose to believe it. I’m sure they must have their reasons why they do. I've just learned how to live with it. I guess they aren’t as brave as you were, to come out here and judge for yourself rather than to just believe what’s been said about me. Now get going before your mommy really tans that little butt of yours!
Cookie waved goodbye to Joy then took off running up the path that led her back to the shore. She got home just before nightfall.
Cookie where have you been young lady? I’ve been worried sick
about you, her mother frowned. Cookie quickly told her about her new adventure and about meeting Joy. Wow! It sounds like you had a very busy day, but next time just let me know where you’re going, okay?
Okay, Cookie answered, kissing her face all over.
Okay, okay, her mommy laughed. I’ll tell you what, tomorrow after you do all your chores, why don’t we take a panic basket and some of your friends to meet Joy. I’ll even ask Mrs. Crabby and Princess to come with us. I’m sure once they all meet your new friend, they’ll be more careful about what they say and what they choose to believe.
