Puff walked over to the stairs and meowed in agreement. Then the pair raced up the creaky wooden steps. Alexia found herself in the living room. She turned left and walked into the kitchen, Puff on her heels. She glanced around. The only thing that Puff could eat in the kitchen was a large block of cheese. Alexia picked up the cheese. Then, she realized that she had no sack to put the food in. She ran into her bedroom with the cheese still in hand and grabbed a bag of hers that was about twenty feet tall and ten feet long.
Alexia shot down the stairs and back into the kitchen. She rapped the cheese in a thin napkin. Then, she sliced some bread and placed nine pieces into another thin napkin. She also grabbed three bananas. Next, Alexia rapped seven red apples in a napkin. Then, she rapped a handful of crackers in another piece of cloth. After that, she grabbed several bottles of water and shoved them into the bag.
Alexia walked up the stairs once again, this time she was carrying the heavy sack filled with food. She snatched up the last bag she had and filled it with two blankets, some money and a sweater. Then, she wrote a note to her mother say where she was going and way. Alexia felt tears flow down her cheeks as she set down the pen and walked outside. She knew she would miss her mother so much...but she had to do this for Puff.
As Alexia was walking out of the house, she turned toward the small stable that was in the backyard. She opened up the doors and out stepped a beautiful chocolate colored horse with a black mane and tail and white stockings.
"Good morning, Chestnut," Alexia whispered to the horse.
Chestnut whinnied in reply. Because Chestnut was only a yearling (a horse that is a year old), Alexia decided to let her carry the food and cloths bags instead of her. Alexia placed the bags on the horse's back and scooped up Puff so that he wouldn't wander away from the others. Then, they set off to start their journey.
