Hi there, I'm a cat.

Don't worry, I don't bite.

Come on a little closer, don't be afraid. Like I said, I don't bite.

Would you like to see some magic? No, don't worry, it's not drugs. It's not anything bad.

It's a book.

Take it in your hands, turn it over, take in its leathery scent. Open it up, leaf through the pages, maybe read a sentence or two. Do you like it? I hope so. Keep it. It's a gift. A gift from me to you. Love it. Cherish it.

I must leave now. Don't forget that book. Allow yourself to become immersed in its blanket of words, allow yourself to be washed up on the sandy beach, the ocean of sentences lapping at you softly.

Don't forget the gift of words.

Ever.
