Benjamin, The Guardian Of The House Of Books pt3

“Where was he,” he thought? “What is this place? I’m sure Nellie has never been here. I have never been here.” And all around him was that smell – that glorious smell – it was everywhere in this place. It had brought him here and he was surrounded by everywhere he sniffed and looked. This was obviously where it lived. So now I must find it, he thought. “Where are you my friend, where can I see you?”

“I am everywhere Benjamin, just look up and around, I am everywhere. We need you here Benjamin. We so badly need your special skills. Here we have the most precious house in all the world and there is danger lurking just out of our reach that could destroy all of these beautiful books one by one if we are not careful. So they sent me out to search for a gentle heart to come protect them from the danger. The rodents come in droves especially when it is cold and dark outside and they make nests among the pages of our fine books and have their young who eat the pages too – oh Benjamin, how I looked and looked and then one day I found you with your Nellie. I am sorry she wasn’t able to come with you Benjamin, but we so badly need you and your skills here to protect us all. Will you stay with us? Benjamin, will you be our protector?”

Well, Benjamin didn’t know what to say. He just knew that he couldn’t leave this fantastic smell. He just knew he had to do something so that he could always be around this wonderful mesmerising smell.

“What to do, what to do,” was his next thought. “Will Nellie miss me? Of course, she will miss me – she has raised me from the time I was born. Yes, she knew I was special when she chose me. She always tells me what a cute little kitten I was and now I am a full grown cat., well nearly anyway. I am only many months into a year so that must make me a full grown cat – I look like one anyway. I am no longer small like I was when I was a kitten so I must be a full grown cat. And when you are a full grown cat, you must be able to make your own decisions. Yes, a full grown cat is allowed to make their own decisions”.

“Oh that smell, it is so tantalising. I don’t want to lose it, I really do not. What to do, what to do.”
