It was a very hot and sweaty and ugly afternoon. Then it started raining. Not quite cats and dogs. May be just cats?
Did you know this phrase came into usage because some time in 17th century, it rained so heavily in England that some streets became rivers of garbage carrying many dead cats and dogs. So it means at no time in history did cats and dogs fall from the sky! Interesting!!!
So a lone street dog was running frantically in search of shelter. And it did find a place below a parked jeep on the street. Do jeeps have more space underneath when compared to cars?
Then rain gained momentum and along with the mud came some thing new on the road. Dog started wondering - is it a toy? Or is it some thing I can eat? He started chasing with hesitation and dual mind. Then he left that new thing join all the other garbage into the storm water drain. He might have some how realized that it was a medicine bottle - neither a toy, nor food.
That was a story of a canine friend - who is very dear to me, but who I will have to chase whenever I see him.
I met another mammal friend today morning. The squirrel was staring at me from the mango branch asking me " why did you have to pluck all the mangoes and then wonder whom to give it to. See, how thin and pale I am now. You snatched my food, lady". I could only give back a sheepish look.
