DEACON IBD

Sinopse

This is a true story based on my experiences with my beloved cat, Deacon. He was not an ordinary cat, instead, he was a little person clothed in cat fur that I adored. He was my constant companion during the turbulent years of my preadolescent and adolescent years.What&rsquo,s in a name? In the beginning of Creation, God gave Adam, the first man, a job to do: To name each and every animal and bird on earth. Long ago, when I was a child, I read a quotation from one of Mark Twain&rsquo,s books. He said that Adam called a dog a dog because &ldquo,he looked like a dog.&rdquo, As a little girl, I thought that this was very funny.áTo my readers, I ask the same question. How would you decide to go about this. I will give you a thought to consider from a cat&rsquo,s point of view. In the beginning, the animal told about in this story had no name. Some called him a feline, others, a pest. When he met Adam, he was nameless but determined to be given a name worthy of his own kind (Gen. 2:19&ndash,20).With great curiosity, he approached Adam. Sniffing and looking all around to make sure he was safe, he finally seated himself beside this first man. Adam looked him over carefully, he liked his friendly attitude and curiosity that made Adam want to pet him. But, this animal had a mind of his own, he could be temperamental. His name should be cat, a name that has fit him through the ages.This is how his name came about:C = curiosityA = attitudeT = temperament________________CATMy only exaggeration in this entire tale is when I tell about Deacon crying, tears flowing down his face. To a little emotional girl of eight, she imagined her Deacon did shed a few tears of love, of course!I am letting Deacon tell his own story: he is the protagonist. This is a wonderful story to read to a young child before bedtime or for a middle school student to read to himself/herself. Deacon will capture your imagination with his adventures and shenanigans!
