Coal and Snow

Two kittens, different, but born of the same mother White one named Snow; Coal was called the black other Snow, so proud of her milky white fur Growled at dark Coal with an angry purr Admiring herself all day long in the mirror Snow called her sister “God’s worst error” She lost her way in the storm that evening Returned home at dawn- wet, hungry and shivering Ran to the mirror but bolted from the horrifying sight Her coat was all black and muddy with no trace of white Delirious and griefstricken, she was a pathetic scene Coal ran to help, consoling and licking her sister clean Moral: Don’t be proud of your physical beauty and don’t hate others for lack thereof Written on:07/11/2016
