                                The Troubled Boy

               

Once upon a time there was a boy named Milford. Milford was no average boy. He is always traveling around the neighborhood. His favorite food that his mom made was grilled cheese. His father left him and his mom when they he was 3. It was 11 days before his birthday when he had his most exhausting adventure.

               

                It was early one afternoon when Milford got out of the yard. He came across one of the neighborhood cats. It was hot in the summer morning and he was thirsty. So he started to follow the cat hoping that it would lead him to a water source. But little did he know it was a stray cat and this cat goes everywhere. So he had one hell of a walk ahead of him.

                The cat had brought him everywhere. It went up and down the street and out of the neighborhood. He was in the next neighborhood over. Then they entered a patch of woods. That had a nice clear path going down it. Milford kept up with the cat pretty good until they came across a rough patch where the trail disappeared.  There was thorns and he was getting all cut up and it was hurting him. But he kept on moving and fought through the pain. Then they moved out of the woods and close to home.

                It was exhausting for Milford to go all around at such a young age. Then the cat brought him through one of the flaps to a house which animals go through. Then since Milford knows where drinks usually are he tore apart the fridge while the cat was knocking over vases and other household items. Then they ended up leaving and Milford was covered in ice cream and crumbs. Also he was very wet too cause of all the spilt drinks. Then he finally made it back into his yard. Where there was a pile of mud. He fell right into it and it was all the way up to his waste, and he was covered in it. Also this was no ordinary pile of mud it was a septic tank. Then his mother finally came out and picked him up and gave him a bath. The end.
