Strange Statue

          Sammie was in another world, eyes were like saucers, whiskers straight out and his tail was up.  The dude just looked flat-out weird!  Tippy thought he was going to go nuts himself so he batted the statue away, hard enough that it started rolling towards the water.

          Sammie fell on his butt and the whiskers started twitching, which was a pawvious sign that he came out of the trance.  “Meeee-ow!”  he yowled.  “What was that?  What happened?”

          “You were in some kind of weird trance,” Paws meowed, staring at the turtle dude.  “What was with that?”

          The turtle dude was stunned.  “I have no idea.”

          “Oh come on,” yowled Tippy, who was unamused by the whole thing.  Besides that, he was getting hungry and that made him cranky.  “You have to know what it is.  You’re the one who bought it out.  What is that thing for?”

          “That is an ancient statue and a source of amazing power,” a voice meowed from behind.  “And I’ve been looking it for a long time.”
