“Don’t be afraid,” Mia whispered. “You just relax while I show you around.”

Mia held the box carefully. She showed Cheetah the garden, the mailboxes, the lamppost and the stop sign.

“What do you think, Cheetah?” Mia asked through the breathing holes. “Do you like it here? Blink once for ‘yes’ and twice for ‘no.’”

Cheetah blinked once.

“I knew you’d like it! It’s better than that old pond, right?”

Cheetah stared ahead.

“Want to have a staring contest?” Mia asked. “I bet you’d win!”

Cheetah turned in the grass so her back was to Mia.

“I guess you’re tired,” said Mia. “You have a little nap.”

In her bath that night, Mia pretended she was Cheetah. She floated like a bath toy. She stretched her legs out behind her. She blinked. She stared. She tried to think like a frog. She asked herself a question. If I was Cheetah, what would make me happy?

But “herself” didn’t answer. “Herself” was as silent as Cheetah.
