It was a hot and sultry afternoon, and worn out with studying. I decided to have forty winks.

During this blissful time, I was rudely woken up with the sound of Ebony barking loud enough to wake

up the dead.

Annoyed that it was making such a racket. I threw a pillow over my head. However, it kept

barking and I was soon forced to investigate. When I went out, Ebony was not clawing at the gate that

was shut in but at the side of the cage nearest the drain. Puzzled that it was not asking to be let put, I

went nearer to it and tried to pacify it but Ebony would notpipe down. Wiping the sleep out of my

eyes, I went nearer to get a close look.

As I looked into the drain, I saw a box floating. Strange, I thought. Nothing unusual. Then in

between Ebonys barks, I heard a little mewing. I looked closely and there was a little kitten in the box,

crying piteously. I reached down and carried the box up. The little thing was wet and cold and was

shivering. I brought it into the house, wrapped a towel around it and found a small milk bottle that we

used regularly to feed strays that crossed our paths. When it was sleeping comfortably, I took some

biscuits and went to Ebony. I held out my hand and petted it. Good Ebony, you saved the little kittens

life. Ebony looked at me with shining eyes and wagged its tail.
