There was once three friends. One was a cat 

named Tank. He was the sound one of the 

bunch. He was nicknamed Tank because he 

didn't let other people's thoughts get inside of 

his head to influence him for wrong. He 

wasn't the smartest or most athletic, although 

he was known for listening to wiser ones of 

the neighborhood. 

Then there was his cousin, Dexter. Short for 

Poindexter, because he was too smart for his 

own good. He wore glasses and was somewhat 

nerdy, although he didn't seem to think so. 

Then there was Dunce, their squirrel friend. He 

was the most athletic out of the bunch. He was 

never the sharpest tool in the shed though, 

hence his name. 

The three friends lived in a small city named 

Westland. It was in an urban neighborhood 

where the most diverse animals lived.

Everyone in the neighborhood had seemed to 

be enjoying this sunny day. Just like everyone 

else, the three were playing outside. They 

played a game together to see who could climb 

the tree the fastest. Of course Dunce won as 

usual. He was always the fastest climber of the 

three of them.

The next game they played was catch. They 

wanted to see who could throw the ball the 

furthest. As they were playing, Dunce tossed 

the cone too far and it went onto the dog's 

property. The three were frightened to get it.

Suddenly two puppies came out to retrieve the 

ball. The puppies started to head there way. 

"Everyone knew what dogs were known for. Of 

course these dogs could have been different. 

Although, at the same time, they could not 

have been," Tank thought to himself. They 

were both female pups. So as they came to 

return the ball, Dunce ran up to thank them 

and introduce himself. The puppies seemed so 

nice. They were both cute and seemed like 

great animals to be around. The other two 

introduced themselves to the puppies briefly.

Shortly after their conversation, Dexter and 

Dunce had become new friends with the two 

puppies. Tank was a little apprehensive about 

Dunce and Dexter's new friends. After all, his 

father had told him not to trust dogs no matter 

what. Tank soon went home whole Dunce and 

Dexter played catch with their new friends.
