December 7. “Button, if I gave you fifty grand, how would you spend that money?”

“Without blinking an eyelid, I’d buy myself a ticket to the north pole, pack my bag and go and meet my folks. I’d also take gifts for everybody. What about you?”

“I would open an animal shelter where any animal, reptile or bird is welcome to come and leave when it wants. It’d be a place where they would experience unadulterated freedom.”

“That would be nice. Some of the atrocities inflicted on our friends are so cruel that this can be a place where they can experience bliss.”

“Didn’t Dost have such a place?”

“Yes. We had to shut down the shelter as the person looking after the place absconded.”

“But why an animal shelter and not a home for the aged?”

“Just a personal preference, I guess! I love animals.”

I would like to tell button that 50 grands is too less for him to go to the north pole, take gifts and come back. He should instead think of saving in the bank so that we could earn interest on that amount over the years.

  Ketakee,
  
  Hi. I’m Button. Would you contribute then and buy me a first class return ticket? I’d be eternally grateful.

That is a very sweet thought. Even I love animals.
