Hi Tacola
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
Mmmmm |
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
What’s wrong with you? Why are you mad?
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
I am not mad, that’s how I am.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
I’m about to take it.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
Well today I don’t feel like smiling or talking.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
For real. I’m about to take it.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
What do you mean?
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
You know. I don’t have to explain it to you.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
Yes you do.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
Now you are sounding rude.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
I just want to know what’s wrong with you.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
Now you want to know how I feel.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
You know that I always care about you.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
That’s what you say.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
This is going too far. Now I really want to know what’s wrong with you.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
Sometimes I feel that you are not really a good friend.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
That hurts.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
All I want is to talk to you and have a good day.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
But I still don’t get why you are mad at me.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
That’s your problem. You don’t care about other people’s feelings.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
What are you saying? Is that you don’t want to be my friend no more?
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
Yes I don’t want to be your friend no more. You don’t care about how I feel.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
I don’t want that to happen because I want you to be my friend.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
If you don’t want our friendship to end then you have to choose who you want to be with.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
I don’t know what you mean.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
It’s that when you are playing with Bryan you don’t put attention to me. You put me on the side. You know that Bryan is just a little boy. He is not going to play with you forever. He will get older and he will not play with you no more.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
So that means you are jealous because I don’t play with you and I play more with Bryan.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
I am not jealous! I just thought you were my real friend.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
All I want is to be loved.
|
|
|
|
|
Tacola:
|
|
And all I want is to have a real friend. Someone I can trust and lean on.
|
|
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
You should have told me that before.
|
|
|
|
| Tacola: |
|
You were always too busy playing with Bryan. |
| |
|
|
|
Toto:
|
|
(aside)
Lord I need you to help me make a good decision. I don’t know who to play with either Tacola or Bryan. I love Bryan because he is my best friend and he is my family, but Tacola is my friend too. She doesn’t care if I don’t work, if I am old and rusted. I don’t know what to do right now. Bryan and Tacola are both here and I don’t know who to play with. If you are listening to what I am asking you please tell me how to do the right choice and not make Tacola or Bryan feel sad or mad. All I want is just to be loved. They both show me they love me and that’s the hard thing. I don’t know what to do. I feel that if I choose Bryan, Tacola is going to feel sad and angry because I chose Bryan and I didn’t play with her. If I choose Tacola, Byran will feel betrayed and sad because I don’t want to play with him no more. I don’t think I can do it alone; I really need your help lord. Please help me and I hope that any choice you tell me to make I hope that no one gets angry or gets sad. All I want is to have them both be my friends.
|
| |
|
|
| Tacola: |
|
Why are you so quiet now?
|
| |
|
|
| Toto: |
|
I am quiet because I feel that I made the wrong choice by playing more with Bryan instead of you.
|
| |
|
|
| Tacola: |
|
I don’t want you to feel guilty because that make me feel that I am not a respectful person.
|
| |
|
|
| Toto: |
|
I think that you and me need to talk about how we really feel about our friendship.
|
| |
|
|
| Tacola: |
|
Well I think I have time.
|
| |
|
|
| Toto: |
|
Tell me yes or no.
|
| |
|
|
| Tacola: |
|
Ok yes.
|
| |
|
|
| Toto: |
|
Well I haven’t told you how I feel about you. I think you are a great friend to be with and I really want you to be my friend.
|
| |
|
|
| Tacola: |
|
Thank you for telling me that. Well I feel the same way you feel and I think that we over-reacted.
I am different from other tigers because I am a vegetarian. Other tigers just want to be like other tigers and I want to be my self. Two months ago I met you and you have become my best friend. I have great times when I am with you and when you listen to me when I need someone to talk to. I hope that you feel how I feel about you because I want you to be my friend. I am getting a lot of peer pressure from my friends because I am different. They don’t want me to be myself. They make me feel bad because they tell me to be a real tiger. They tell me that I need to eat meat and kill other animals as my prey. I don’t like to kill other animals because I don’t want to live with that guilt. I don’t want to make a mistake that I will regret later in life. It’s really hard for me because I don’t want to listen to them but sometimes I do and when I do that’s when I just feel that I just want to give up, that I can’t take it anymore. I just feel that I am tired and that I am getting frustrated. I just feel that I had enough.

I know that I have to make a choice now about you and Bryan. I am getting old and rusted. I know that sooner or later they are going to throw me to the trash. It is going to be hard but I won’t regret my decision.
|
| |
|
|
| Tacola: |
|
Well all I can say is choose the person you really want to be with. See if he or she is really your real friend.
|
| |
|
|
| Toto: |
|
I have made my decision. It was hard but I have to choose you because I know that you are always going to be there for me and I know that you love me the same way I do.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
The End. |
