Bella

in Freewriters2 years ago

For the first time in that town a fair was presented, there was a lot of expectation in the inhabitants since they began to see the movement of the trucks and all the propaganda indicated that it would be magnificent, not only for the mechanical attractions but also for shows with wild animals.

Alexander, a 12-year-old boy only talked about it with his father, at each dinner the topic of conversation was the opening of the fair, and although nothing excited Jonathan since the death of his wife, he agreed to take him just to see how his little boy smiled.

After school, Alexander would stop by the grounds to check on how the rides were going, getting more and more excited.

He was ecstatic watching the workers, and he couldn't believe his eyes when they lifted the Ferris wheel, his eyes widened, and he was walking backwards with his mouth open when he almost tripped over the tiger and his tamer. What a scare he got!

I'm not going to tell dad this, so he doesn't worry. He thought to himself.

And the big day arrived, Alexander dressed in his best shirt, the occasion warranted it and with a big smile on his face he went with his dad to the fair.

He loved the mechanical attractions, but what excited him the most was the show with wild animals, anxiety consumed him while they were in line for tickets, the look of the tiger had been nailed to his memory and he felt a chill in his stomach when he remembered the moment when he was so close.

At last, they were in the big top, Alexander just repeated Wow!, the lights, the dancers, elephants, lions and tigers. Wow! He was repeating.

Jonathan enjoyed the event, but what he enjoyed the most was his son's face, he hadn't seen him so happy in a long time. That was a good night for them.

Alexander used to go back after school to the fair, but now he was going directly to where the animals were, there was a tiger that was staring at him, and although he was afraid of it, he couldn't stop contemplating its imposing beauty.

One day the tamer approached him to talk to him, and that's when he found out that it wasn't a tiger but a tigress, and she wasn't being put on the show because she was pregnant.

They took her out for walks during the day, and it was with her that she almost tripped that afternoon. Knowing that the tigress was pregnant aroused his interest, he wanted to be there when her offspring was born.

Weekends were endless for Alexander because he was always helping his dad with the housework, now he longed for Mondays more than ever, because he would come back from school to visit his new friend: Bella, that's what they called her.

That Monday, when Jonathan arrived at the camp, Bella was giving birth to her young, there were three, two males and one female.

The tamer, a robust man with a pleasant smile, helped her, Alexander looked at him ecstatically, he couldn't even close his mouth, and he felt a great emotion when seeing the puppies for the first time.

A month had already passed since the installation of the fair, and the owner decided that it was time to leave, it had not gone very well in that town, and he began to shout and hurl insults at the locals because his economic expectations were not reached. He had a bad temper, and the more he shouted the more he got angry, so he cursed that town and cursed his people, he had not finished the sentence when suddenly a lightning bolt from heaven hit him and the man disappeared.

All the employees were stunned, feeling free for the first time, as if a chain had been lifted from them.

The tamer, took the baton, was the one who commanded the most respect, and decided to free the animals, made contact with the administrator of a reserve whom he had known for a long time, and although they decided to leave the town, the fair would continue until the animals were relocated. .

Alexander was happy with the decision, her friend Bella deserved to live in freedom with her puppies, but she still cried when she saw them go.

That night at dinner Alexander was very quiet, Jonathan looked at him and tried to get a few words out of him, then Alexander told him everything about his friend Bella, their first meeting in which he almost died of fright, how he saw the birth of his puppies, and began to cry when recounting his farewell.

Jonathan comforted him, took him around town, and convinced him to visit a close friend.

Alexander reluctantly agreed, but his face changed when he arrived at Mr. Luis's house, he had a golden retriever that had some puppies, and then he could choose one for himself...

Alex chose a female and named her Bella after her friend.

A nice, catching story that ends with a companion for Alexander.
