The Cat's Trap~ A Dragon's Tale

The Cat's Trap

A very, very long time ago, there was a cat named Cen. Cen was like any other cat, except that she was miserable. The reason she was so miserable was because the other cats, dogs and animals taunted her for understanding, and being fluent in, the Dragon's language. One day Cen was talking with a dragon friend of hers, Oten, and she told him that she didn't think she could take too much more of the other animals' constant taunting. Oten thought about this and then told her to make a trap, so they'd see how important she was. She immediately said no because if she did that, she'd be just as bad as them. Oten nodded, got up, turned and walked deeper in to the caverns of his lair, dismissing Cen. Cen left and carried on as best she could, trying not to let the constant taunting and teasing from the other animals get to her. Oten on the other tail, made his own plan to help his feline friend. Several days later, Cen was walking down a well trodden dirt path when she heard cries for help coming from the woods. She ran to find the owners so she could at least try to help. When she found them, she saw it was the other animals being attacked by dragons. She jumped in the middle and started yelling in the Dragon's language. She quickly got all their attention and she started arguing with the dragons. They argued for awhile when finally the dragons stepped back, allowing the other animals to leave. But as they started to leave, one dragon stepped in front of them and told the animals, in a language they all understood, that Cen, the one they were always cruel to, saved them when she had no reason to. While the animals thought about this, Cen asked how the dragons knew she was being tormented by the other animals. The dragon told her about Oten and his plan, which was to have a few dragons to attack the animals and for Cen to save them. Cen sighed and apologized for what the dragons did, the dragon then pointed out to the animals that Cen was apologizing to them when she was the one that saved them. The dragon then left with the other dragons and Cen walked the other animals back to the path. Once back on the path the animals all told her that they were always mean to her because they'd been jealous. They told her they were sorry. Cen forgave them, and soon they were all friends. The animals were nice to Cen, and Cen kept the peace between dragons and the other creatures.
