Liam the llama was looking around the cupboards for more cheese. He really liked cheese. He had been eating cheese ever since he was in the womb! He eats it for morning, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack, and for dessert!
"WHERE IS THE CHEESE?!" He screeched. He always had cheese in the cupboards, or at least SOMEWHERE. He had NEVER ran out. This made him very angry.
Liam decided to cry into the corner. Eating a piece of celery while acting like it was cheese, he cried and cried until no more tears were left to cry. His pet goldfish, Goldy (how original, right?) called out, "Well why don't you go get some darm cheese then, Liam? It's really not all that hard!"
Liam stomped his way to his goldfish sitting in a sphere like tank filled with water. Huffing and puffing, he got angry with the fish.
"You just don't understand, Goldy! This is a very emotional part of my life! Just leave me be!" Liam started to cry again. "All I said is that you can go get some mor-" "IT'S NOT THE SAME!" Liam screamed, making Goldy plug his ears.
"Can you tone it down a bit? Jeewiz. It's not the end of the world." Goldy explained. Liam gave him an evil glare. Liam tried to calm down, sat down on the near living room couch, and began explaining the facts to Goldy.
"You see, Goldy, cheese is cheese. Llamas have owned cheese for centuries and centuries. Without cheese... Well, I don't know what would happen without cheese!" Goldy was about to say something but Liam shushed him. Liam continued, "Cheese is not easy to get, no, not easy at all. You have to walk all the way to the Llama market, pull out your money, hand it to them, then take your cheese home. It's a lot of work on one llama."
Goldy rolled his eyes.
"But then again..." Liam started to think out loud and then stood up. "I can just go get more at the market!" Goldy slapped his forehead and muttered, "Idiot."
"What did you just called me, Goldy?" Liam narrowed his eyes at the fish. "Nothing." Goldy muttered.
Liam didn't live too far from the market and he didn't have a car, so he had to walk there. It was about 2 blocks away. "This is going to be hard..." Liam hesitated. But, he knew he needed to go get his love, so he headed off on his long journey. Hopefully he would reach there by night.
Along the way, Liam wave to lots of people. Liam was a lazy llama and never took walks or has really been around the neighborhood. The only time the llama goes outside is to water his cheese plants. But the cheese plants were no longer in season at the time.

When Liam finally reached the store, it had been 10 minutes later. Liam sat on a nearby bench by the store to take a few breaths. "That. Was. So. Tiring." The llama said inbetween breaths. Building his strength up again, he headed into the store to search for the cheese.
He looked for hours.
It wasn't there.
Liam screamed as loud as he could. "WHERE IS MY CHEESE!!!!!!!! I NEED MY CHEESE RIGHT NOW!!!!" He walked up to an old grammy llama and searched through her basket, but didn't find any cheese there either. He started to shake the lady yelling, "GIVE ME MY CHEESE!"
A worker interrupted his tantrum. "Excuse me, sir," the worker politely tapped on his soldier. Liam turned to him, as mad as could possible be. You could probably see the smoke coming out of his ears. The worker continued, "What are you looking for?" "I am looking for my beloved cheese." Liam responded, more calmly and sadly.
"Alright. Well it should be right over here." Liam followed the worker up to the section Liam already had looked. "Hmm. Looks like we don't have any cheese at this time. Come back in a few days, we'll probably have it then." The worker smiled nicely at Liam, then walked away.
