Tiger slowly walked over to Smokey, "I could help you find whatever your looking for, though." The old tom went on,
"That would be very helpful, thanks," Sardine meowed, whilst Lily furiously shook her head. "This is Tiger, and we're looking for his home."
"Okay." He walked over and sniffed Tiger, "you don't come from this around here. It's obvious." He added after Tiger gave him a surprised look. "but definitely near the beach."
"What's the beach?" Sardine asked,
"It's a long body of salty water, that take up over half of the world." After she still looked confused, Smokey added, "its like a giant lake."
"Oh."
"I've always been inside, but I could smell salty water, whenever the glass door was open." Tiger agreed.
"That's defiantly the beach, this way." He said as he started to walk towards where the sun would set.
They traveled for a long time, as the sun reached the highest point in the sky, Tiger smelled the salty water of his home. "Are you coming?" Sardine asked, looking at Tiger as he had seemed to have stopped. "Sorry," he meowed back as he hurried on, to catch up. "What made you stop?"
"Smell the air." He answered simply,
"Really? It's just salty,"
"Exactly," at this Sardine just looked at him, "my home is defiantly near here."
"Oh, that makes a lot more sense."
It was getting late, as the sun was setting. The five cats had traveled very far, and Tiger knew he was so close to getting home. They had just found a nice spot to rest under a tree, the clan cats had hunted and brought back some prey, and All five cats had eaten before going to bed. At first Tiger had no idea how he was going to sleep, but almost as soon as he had laid down exhaustion had taken over him, and he had fallen into a deep sleep.
