And this was the moment ๐ that everything changed forever ๐ As she opened the door, the little girl ๐ง๐ป was met with ๐ the most glorious ๐ the most wondrous ๐ the most magnificent sight ๐คฉ ๐ซ she had ever seen in her whole, entire life! ๐๐
The little dog ๐ถ was over the moon ๐ to see the little girl re-appear ๐ he jumped up and down in joy ๐คช somersaulting in the air ๐คธโโโ he wagged his little tail ๐he smiled so wide ๐ ๐ and his eyes were bright and full of magic! ๐คฉ The little girl ๐ง๐ป had never seen anyone so happy to see her in all her life ๐ฅฐ She saw in that most magical of moments that this little dog was full of ๐ ABSOLUTE ๐ PURE ๐UNCONDITIONAL ๐ no less than DIVINE ๐โญโLOVEโ โญ๐ The little girl realised that ๐ฑANIMALS๐ท ARE๐ฎ MADE๐ฐ Of LOVE ๐๐๐
This love ๐ that she was experiencing coursed through her entire being. She felt his purity ๐ถ ๐ his innocence. She realised that animals experience emotions ๐ข๐ฉ๐๐๐ just like humans do, they might express them differently but they feel everything. But unlike humans, no matter what you think of them they will not change their nature. They donโt know how to tell lies ๐คฅ play games or manipulate ๐ค you, they have no hidden agenda ๐คซ Show them a little love ๐ and they show it back to you a million fold ๐๐๐
The little girl realised that even though she had the little prince ๐คด๐ป and many gold sovereigns ๐ฐ and friends ๐ซ๐ป๐ญ๐ฌ and a beautiful tower in the sky ๐ฐ nothing could make her feel the way such ๐ pure love ๐ could.
This was the ๐Special Secret ๐ Of ๐Animals ๐ that the Universe had blessed the little girl with and she was so, so grateful ๐๐ป that now it was the right time ๐ฐ๏ธ now she was worthy of knowing it.
The little girl now felt that she had wasted so much of her life being fearful ๐จ of animalsโฆ and in eating them! Oh my how could she possibly eat this little thing! ๐ She decided there and then that she would never eat animals ๐ซ ever again. She wouldnโt even take anything that belonged to them like their milk ๐ฅ or their eggs ๐ฅ ๐ณ
Cue cute ๐๐ฌ movie montage ๐๏ธ moments๐ฅ๐
- Little girl ๐ง๐ป and little dog ๐ถ in the park cuddling ๐ smiling โบ laughing ๐and playing ๐
- Little girl ๐ง๐ป and little dog ๐ถ having a heart to heart conversation ๐looking deep into each otherโs eyes ๐ ๐
- Little girl ๐ง๐ป and little dog ๐ถ sharing a sandwich ๐ฅช together ๐ฝ๏ธ ๐ ๐
- Little dog lying with his head in little girlโs lap ๐ถ๐ง๐ป๐
- Little girl saying goodbye to little dog ๐ง๐ป๐๐ข๐ถ
Yes, sadly ๐ after those few glorious ๐ซ hours together, the time ๐ฐ๏ธ had come to say goodbye, for the little prince ๐คด๐ป and the little girl ๐ง๐ป had found the little dogโs true home ๐ก ๐จโ๐งโ๐ฆHis family had been looking ๐ for him all around and were very pleased to have him back ๐ฅฐ
The little girl gave the little dog one last cuddle ๐ค ๐and she bowed down ๐๐ปโโโ to his little soul and thanked ๐๐ป it for showing her the ๐Special ๐Secret ๐ Of ๐Animals ๐ ๐ถ ๐
But does the story end here ๐คท๐ปโโโ? No ๐ ๐ปโโโof course not ๐ Because as you know by now a story without a good sprinkling of adversity ๐ฅด isnโt a good story at all ๐๐
Some months passed and the little girl ๐ง๐ป was very particular when she went to fairs ๐ช or to visit other folk in the land ๐๏ธ๐ซ๐ป๐ฌ๐ญ She made everyone aware that she didnโt eat anything that came from animals ๐ ๐ซ She made sure she knew every ingredient going into everything and anything she ate and her home was an animal product free zone๐ฅ๐ซ
Then, one day, the little girlโs brother ๐ซ๐ป crossed the seas and skies and came all the way from the Unicorn Kingdom ๐ฆ to visit the little girl in Bollyhood ๐บ๐ป๐๐ป ๐ฅ She woke up the next morning and opened her cupboard that magically stayed cold inside ๐ชโ๏ธ and saw a bottle of cowโs milk ๐ฅ and a dollop of freshly churned butter ๐ฎ Shock and horror! ๐ฑ
โHow dare he bring these forbidden items into my home!โ she fumed ๐ โDoesnโt he know this is stealing from the cows! ๐ I simply wonโt allow it!โ ๐ซ
The little girl was very angry ๐ก She told her brother that it was her home ๐ฐ and her rules and that he must throw those things out ๐๏ธ She stormed off into her bedroom and shut the door ๐ช behind her with a huff ๐ค
โWhaaaa..?โ ๐ฎ Her brother scratched his head. โIโd only hoped for a cup of coffee โ and slice of buttered toast ๐ ๐ฎ in the morning. What did I do that was so bad?โ
The little girl sat and pondered this in her room ๐ญ and realised that what she had said wasnโt very nice at all ๐ She didnโt eat animal products anymore because of love ๐ but where was the love here ๐โ Instead of love ๐ she had shown her own brother ๐ซ๐ป an emotion that was something else entirely ๐๐ผ
In that moment the little girl ๐ง๐ป learned another ๐ Special Secret ๐ That she must never force what she believed on anyone else. She realised that everyone saw ๐ the world ๐ in different ways and that if they didnโt understand the ๐ special secret of animals๐ or even if they did understand it but chose to eat whatever they liked it was absolutely their choice and there was nothing wrong with it ๐ Who was she to say anything to anyone anyway ๐คท๐ปโโโ What was more important was that she treated everybody with love ๐ฉโโคโ๐ฉ and kindness ๐จโโคโ๐จ and respected their differences ๐ฉโโคโ๐จ And besides, the Wise Man of the land ๐งโโโhad told her that anything that makes one rigid isnโt good for anyone at all ๐
It made the little girl feel very good ๐ to see her brother happily enjoying his coffee โ and hot, buttered toast ๐ ๐ฎ
The End
But is this really the end? What about the little dog ๐ถ that changed her life? Did the little girl ๐ง๐ป ever see him again ๐คท๐ปโโโโ Did the little girl always love ๐ animals๐ฐ after that and never eat them again? And what about the girl dog who became her best friend and went on to become a famous star inspiring many people? ๐ ๐
