Journal #2

So last time our dear friend Perriet learned the valuable lesson of embracing ones differences.  He saw that just because he had a different colored bill than the rest of his platypus friends, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing!  He learned to love his difference and to use it as an advantage!  Now we are taken back to Perriet's platypus hut.  Perriet was making himself a steaming bowl of noodles because noodles are the best invention ever known to man.  Specifically, they were rotini noodles with home aid marinara sauce!  Perriet was very excited about his noodle dinner and he was even more excited to be able to eat by himself and eat in peace!  The entire day he had been dealing with irritable whiny co-workers who wouldn't stop complaining about how horrible their life is, how horrible this job is, yada yada yada.  Perriet was tired of it and just wanted to enjoy his own company for once.  So when a knock sounded upon his door, Perriet was not a happy camper.  He swung his door open to find a shaking, quivering koala bear.  He bellowed, "WHAT?!" at the poor creature, nearly scaring it dead!  The little bear stuttered back to him, "M-m-y tree f-fell d-down.  I n-need ha-help."  Despite the fact a teeny-tiny adorable koala bear was standing here in front of him, shaking AND was currently homeless, Perriet's heart was still hardened.  He threw one last gruesome look at the little creature and slammed his door, sealing himself inside, and the koala out.  He strutted right back over to his steaming bowl of noodles, plopped himself down and proceeded on with his night.  That was until he took a gander out his window and what he saw might as well have broke his heart in two.  The poor koala was sitting on the street corner trembling from the cold, with no where to go.  Perriet couldn't help but looking above his head and see the sturdy roof above his head and looking down and noticing the delicious noodles before him.  What was wrong with him?  Just because a few people at work had been irritable and annoying meant that a fellow animal in need had to go with out?  No!  Perriet marched outside and approached the koala, 
"What's your name?" he asked. 
"Kilton," Kilton replied. 
"Well come on in, Kilton." Perriet took Kilton inside and sat him down and gave him HIS bowl of noodles.  The feeling he had while watching Kilton eating his own bowl was much warmer and full-filling than anything else he could have imagined.
