Much later I said to a friend, “If I’d known there was going to be so much paperwork, I wouldn’t have let him go.”]]></description>

A small boy was riding a battered blue tricycle down the side of the road and behind him, pointed tail high in the air, was a small shaggy kitten.

“Stop” I screamed. “There is a child on the highway!"]]></description>
