At night sometimes I prowl. I catch the mice who invade the granary. After a good hunt I walk home. The world is bigger at night and sometimes I feel alone. It is cold in the desert and there are noises. I hurry past the pyramids and sphinx. When I look up at the golden moon hanging in the sky and the twinkling of a million stars, I don’t feel so much like the Great Cat. I feel very small and I hurry faster.

Then I reach the marketplace. The moon glows, illuminating strange shapes on the streets, and I hurry even faster. I need a friend. I pause outside the royal kennel. All is quiet.

Up I go through the window, for there is one inside who I know can protect me. One who will keep the shadows away. One who is an irreverent, greedy, clumsy oaf, but one who is my friend in the darkness. I tiptoe across the royal cushions and I snuggle up for warmth and protection. Purrrrrrr. I sleep safe and warm against his back.

It is Abu, the Royal Dog.
