A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Greetings #freewriters community

The emotion and feeling that this image inspires in me is one of tenderness. It makes you reflect towards all that makes us feel tenderness in what we do every day.

Sig, a boy growing up on a farm where animals are part of it, not just farming. The dogs are part of it, although his parents only see the animals as part of the daily chores, the dogs outside the house, never a small caress because for Sig's parents they are not necessary to live with them.

One rainy morning Sig went out to open the gate for his father to drop him off at school, as he did every day. For Sig this was a daily adventure because his classmates could only get there on foot, but also because they lived near the school. Sig lived retired because it is a very productive farm.

When Sig opened the gate he heard noises, he thought that the dog that was pregnant had had her puppies, he thought: she had to wait for it to rain to have them and well hidden, while his father was checking the truck, he approached the place where he heard the noises and it seemed strange to him what he heard because it did not look like puppies.

He found a box with three kittens, when he saw them he did not know what to do, because his father was not very friendly with this kind of animals, for him it was only important the cows, bulls, horses, everything that produced money.

He didn't know what to do, as he could while his father was busy checking the truck in a very stealthy way, he took the box to a dry place, he didn't know what to do because he had never had kittens before and they were very small. He went to the kitchen, poured some milk and carried it in a container that would not be thrown away when they consumed it. His dad was calling him and missed Sig not being in the truck yet, being that he is always the one who hurries the father because he is going to be late.

All the way Sig was very quiet, his dad noticed this but said nothing. That was the way there and on the way back he was with some friends who were talking about it. At lunch time Sig was just as quiet, his father asked him questions and he didn't answer.

Sig couldn't figure out how to tell his father about the kittens because he is not nice to them, the dogs and jokingly. As best he could he hid them for a few days, brought them food, played with them, laughed a lot with them because the kittens were very affectionate and playful. One day, she couldn't hide them any longer, they came out of hiding and sought to explore the place where they were.

At last his father realized it, he told him why he did that, if he already knew about it. He was silent, he didn't know what to do because he didn't want to get rid of them. He listened to everything his dad said, without answering.

The kittens were beautiful, there were three of them, very cute and curious. One morning Sig's mother went out to see the kittens that Sig's father had told her about, she had a headache, she entered the place, there was Sig playing with her kittens...immediately one of them climbed on her mother's legs and began to caress her, it mounted on her neck, Sig's mother laughed because of the tingling she felt, after a while she realized that she no longer felt the headache.

Sig told his mother that the kittens were prodigious because they helped with the improvement in people, that he had been in charge of researching about them, that he was not going to get out of them. His mother took one home. When his father saw it he wanted to get rid of it, the mother told him that thanks to the kitten, her tenderness and caresses his headache passed and so far he feels very well and with a lot of energy.

Sig's father shook his head, sat down in his armchair and the kitten began to caress his legs until one of his hands rested on his head and caressed him and spoke to him tenderly. Sig felt joy because she already knew that the kittens were staying in her home, because this was already her home.
