In A Pickle

         Asher couldn't find Mia. He looked in the basement, the attic, the front yard, he looked EVERYWHERE...And yet he still couldn't find Mia.

"Miaa!! Where are you? I said I give up! You win hide and seek, OK? Now come out!" Said Asher, admitting defeat.

He decided to look outside a bit more, he hadn't looked there very much.

"Meow!"

"Mia!" Asher said, excited. "Oh hi." said Asher, disappointed, It was just one of the neighborhood cats.


It was starting to get late and Asher was starting to get worried. "Mia!!" He yelled getting more desperate each time.

Asher heard a faint whimper. "Mia?" Asher replied. "Moww?" Said the cat, who Asher instantly recognized as Mia.

"Do you need help?" Asher asked.

"Meow mewo!" Said Mia, which translated to "Yes please!"

"Where are you?" Replied Asher.

"Meeow Meewf." Said Mia, slightly embarrassed, but relieved to be found.

"Mia..." He sighed. Mia was clinging on to the trunk of a tree, and looking down at the ground, she might be one of the bravest cats, but she extremely scared of heights.

Asher attempted to climb the tree, he was almost able to get to the first branch, but kept slipping.

After a few attempts Asher finally was able to cling on to the the first branch. After that he pulled himself onto the second one, then was able to climb the tree with ease.

"Mia! Jump into my arms!" Said Asher.

"Wemmp, Whimmpper." Mia replied, terrified.

"Come on Mia! I cant climb any farther! I'm too heavy! You can do it." After a bit more positive talk Mia finally leaped.

"Meooowww!" Mia said as she leaped into Ashers arms.

"I knew you could do it!" Said Asher, as he climbed down the tree.

He finally had his beloved cat back.
