A young hamster was fighting between a cat meanwhile his wife was trying to protect their three
little children.
-Lauren, get out with the kids, hurry up! -say the hamster, trying to reduce the cat with a stick.
-I can't leave you! -answered the hamster desperately, with tears in the eyes.
The cat defeat the hamster with a slash and move to the mother, how can't avoid being scared. At
least, she tried to attract the cat far from her children. The hamster distract the cat meanwhile the
kids were looking at his father's body, bleeding in the floor.
When the mother wasn't be able to continue, she looks to her children, and with tears in the eyes,
meanwhile the cat assault her in a deadly attack, she talk to the kids in a sad tone: “I'm sorry, kids”,
and she scream with pain. She fall to the ground bleeding.
When the cat was going to the little hamsters, who were eyewitness of the death of their parents, the
older insert himself between the cat and her sisters.
-Before that you must pass through me! -say the little hamster, trembling with fear.
When the cat start the attack, a gray pigeon charge to the cat. After peck him a little, the pigeon take
advantage of a little moment that the cat distract and mount the three little hamsters in her back and
fly away.
-Stupid pigeon! We must return for my parents! -says the hamster.
-I'm sorry, kid... but I doubt you see them again -answered the pigeon.
-Argh! -the little hamster wake up, soak in sweat and with irregular breathing, think that it was a
nightmare. However, he observe that the environment isn't the one that he must say “home”... and
that his parents aren't there. It was obvious... it wasn't a nightmare.
The little hamster have the necessity of pull off her skin and shout. But, looking at his sweet little
sisters -even if they birth one day after him- he tried to calm down and just cry lower. A few
minutes after, the dreams called him and he sleeps.
Morning, the first that he saw was that the place wasn't that strange... he was in a building near the
Triumph's Arc, where he play with her sisters and parents.
He also notice that he wasn't alone, the pigeon who saved him the last day was also there. The
hamster wasn't be able to see him the last night because his feathers was black as night. But... there
was also another one, he smell it. The smell provides for the window, where the light was intense.
The hamster was able to see in the light a white pigeon.
The hamster want to wake up his sisters, who were sleeping near the pigeons.
But, looking at they sleeping... they was looking really happy... it was necessary to wake up them?
Who know what sweet dreams they were having? It was necessary to destroy that dream and show
them the crude reality?
-Bonjour! I see that you already wake up -salute the black pigeon.
-Yes! Now we can go to save my parents! -answered plenty of energy the hamster.
The pigeon negates with the head and talk.
-I'm sorry, but... I guess it's too late.
The hamster started to cry, he don't want to accept the reality.
-No! -shout the hamster- They aren't...!
The pigeon shut up him with his wings and point the little sleeping girls. The hamster agree with
tears in the eyes.
-My... my name is André -tell the hamster more calm down and a bit shy.
-My name is Paolo, and the white pigeon in the window is my sister Paulina.
-Pleased to meet you. My sisters are Marie and Sophie -tell with a shy tone André.
Then, the white pigeon wake up and noticed that his brother was talking with someone.
-Who are they, brother? -Paulina's voice was sweet, like a mermaid.
-They are a little hamsters I saved yesterday -answer Paolo.
-Good job! -congratulate her brother with a smile and turns to the little hamster- Hi, my name is
Paulina, and you?
-I'm André, nice to meet you -even at his early age, André was a really well-mannered hamster.
After a little talking, André's sisters wake up.
-Where is Mom? -Sophie started to cry.
-Don't worry... André is here, so it's ok -try to comfort the other sister, Marie.
-Girls... I think... I need to give you bad news... -André's voice was really sad- Our parents... are...
-Then... it wasn't a dream? -ask in unison Marie and Sophie.
André negates with the head. The two sisters hug really hard her brother and cry.
-Well, well... my name is Paolo -say the black pigeon trying to cheer up the moment.
-The name is Paulina -tell the other pigeon- Hey girls, don't you want to play with me?
-That's true! Crying we don't solve anything! -André was trying to comfort his sisters, but he was
also a bit rude.
They separate from his brother.
-You're right, Bro... we can't stay like that ever... even it hurts, we must continue -says Marie.
-But Mom and Dad? -ask Sophie, with tears in the eyes.
-You must... continue without them, and start to take care of oneself -Paolo was categorical.
The three hamsters agree, and meanwhile the girls was playing with Paulina, André was getting
discipline and wild life lessons from Paolo.
-Ok, boy! You are polite and hard, like your father -say Paolo satisfied- On the other hand, you don't
know nothing about the wild life. In the next weeks, I will teach you all you need for survive:
starting from finding food to collect straw for your bed. And a list of warnings and how to avoid
them.
The weeks pass quickly, and in a few months André become a really wild hamster, as his father.
Meanwhile, being a wild hamster don't avoid he continue being polite, loyal and all the qualities
acquired from his parents.
-Now I want revenge! -claim the little hamster.
-Boy, I'm sorry but... Are you mad? You are only a squirt for that cat. If you fight him, you must die.
I recommend you to live a normal live and, when you grow enough, you must fight him.
André, Marie and Sophie has grown a lot that weeks, and they are ready to live by their own. They
mount in Paolo's back and fly to their old home. A house inside a big tree, in the middle of the
Champs-Élysées.
-Well, here is your house... I hope you will be ok, au revoir! -the pigeon say goodbye.
-Au Revoir! -say the hams too.
They come in the tunnel their father dig with her paws a long time ago.
After a red door, the hams found a big living room, with a rectangular desk in the middle, a rocking
chair in a square, and a television in one extreme. The hamsters were very happy with their home,
but it was still a problem... there's only one bedroom!
After a long discussion, André was forced to dig two bedrooms -with their old child bedroom, they
have one for each one-.
Finally they go to home. What kind of adventures they will live? They will find more friends?
