little way to see where it\u2019s going.\u00a0 I so badly want to be friends with it, I really do.\u201d\u00a0 And without a backwards glance at Nellie, he trotted along with his nose up in the air sniffing that wonderful smell, that beautiful smell, that alluring smell.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBenjamin, where are you going you silly cat?\u00a0 Will you be long?\u00a0 Will you be back for tea?\u201d he heard Nellie calling out after him.\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t know Nellie, I have to go you see,\u201d he called back to her. \u201c I\u2019ll bring him home with me and all of us can enjoy this beautiful thing that I have found.\u00a0 I won\u2019t be long Nellie, truly, I won\u2019t be long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that was the last he ever saw of Nellie ever again.<\/p>\n<p>On he went up hills and down dales, along roads, and through the forest. The sun rose and fell, night approached and still on and on that smell continued to take him. He never tired, he never wimpered.\u00a0 He just had to have whatever it was that was taking him away from his beloved Nellie. \u00a0\u201cShe won\u2019t mind,\u201d he said to himself.\u00a0 \u201cWhen I catch it, I\u2019ll take it home to Nellie and she will tell me what it is and we\u2019ll both have such a lovely time with it.\u00a0 She won\u2019t mind,\u201d he kept saying to himself all the while dancing along with the smell in the air taking him further and further away.<\/p>\n<p>This new village added to the smell that he was so pleased to be following.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cYes, there are things here in this village that belong to this new friend I am going to find soon.\u00a0 It\u2019s all around me.\u00a0 Oh yes, how very, very exciting\u201d he thought as continued to amble along after the smell.\u00a0 \u201cyes, I can feel that this is where he lives, this is where it spends its days. Oh how wonderful to find such a grand place as this \u2013 and soon he realised he had climbed many white steps and was now inside a building such as he had never seen the like.\u00a0 All around him he could see books, thousands upon thousands of books all perched neatly in rows upon rows.\u00a0 The shelves were filled with wondrous colours and sizes of books \u2013 thick ones, thin ones, some on their sides, many standing tall.\u00a0 It was a wonder to behold.<\/p>\n<p>End part2<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading my blog.<br \/>\nPlease comment below and share my link.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debbie Nicholson<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/benjamintheguardianofthehouseofbookspt2.m4a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here for your Audio link to this blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=DG9G3A3M6HCPW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/images\/life-happens-volume-1-3d.png\" alt=\"Life Happens Volume 1\" width=\"165\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Life Happens Volume 1 A Collection of Funny Emails and Facebook Messages Dating From The 1980s To 2012<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Favourite Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thewellgroomedpet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cathy&#8217;s Well Groomed Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/debbie-nicholson\/predictingtheeffectsofthenextshakept1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debbie&#8217;s Other Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/auckland\/local-news\/north-shore-times\/91743446\/beloved-auckland-library-cat-to-have-25000-bronze-statue-cast-in-his-likeness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Story of\u00a0Benjamin<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debbienicholson.info\/amisdechatbook2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amis de Chat Book 2<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=5QMBK9P5UQCEC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-174 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/debbienicholsononline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/506-694-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Amis de Chat\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/debzebooks.com\/amis-de-chat-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Product Launch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
