Once upon a time, well almost five years ago, a tiny little red Kaala was born.
While walking through the woods, the elf Bella heard a small "mew" coming from behind a fallen tree. Bella walked closer and there among the roots of the tree, was a tiny kitten. Her fur was red and matted.
Her eyes swollen shut. The kitten was in rough shape and needed help. It was a crisp autumn day and Bella had put on an small jacket before leaving her cabin that morning. Taking off the jacket, she carefully moved closer to the kitten. "I will help you little one" she said in a low, comforting tone. She gently lifted and wrapped the kitten in the jacket.
Walking beck to her cabin with the tiny little bundle, Bella started thinking. She wondered how this tiny being

hello there. Nice to meet you."
Bella stirred the stew and then got a soft brush she had made of horse hair. She began to brush out
the tangled fur. There were quite a few mats, but Bella took her time and got rid of each and every one.The kitten was a fluffy little hairball. She purred and kneaded the jacket and curled into a ball.
Bella dished out a small portion of the stew and poured a saucer of milk. She set both in the floor and then set the kitten
in floor in front of them. The little one began to eat like she hadn't eaten in a week. Bella had a pillow she had made from goose down. she laid the pi
