I'm so glad I knew cacti didn't like milk. I never guessed I'd find myself in such a poopy situation, and I need my rarely-budding buddy in tip-top condition! Just vision him, Bobby Bobster!
I remember when I first saw him at the toy store. I was so small then, it was back when Mumsy used to hold my hand. There was this little crate full of cuddlies, and Cuddles was sitting right at the top... And I was horrified. A cactus, with no spikes! How were they meant to defend themselves? I immediately picked him up and comforted him, tears streaming down my face. I begged for Mummy to adopt him, and she laughed and ruffled my hair.
"Of course sweetie, anything for my little angel."
She was always so kind, not just to me, but to everyone. There was something similar once, she found a hedgehog that had no spikes. She couldn't leave it, said something about 'nasty predators' and brought it home. Turns out it was already pretty sick, so me and mum would feed it milk. It musta gotten better, it went away. Mum said it had already starting growing spikes so it would be safe now. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I could grow spikes, but then it would mess up all my clothes. She knitted me a green sweater so I could look just like Cuddles! I'd never want that to get messed up.
On the way home we went to the library and took out a book on caring for cacti. The librarian saw my new friend and found him oh so cute. She said we should take good care of him and bring the book back in a week. I learnt many things, like how often to water him, how much sunlight he needs... There was even a page dedicated to him specifically! It had fallen out of the book so was loose, like just a normal bit of paper, but we kept it in there all the time. When Mumsy took the book back, the kind Librarian gave us a photocopy so we'd never forget how to give Cuddles all the love a cactus needs.
He's just so nice and carefree, you know? He's always looking out for the other softies and even Sylvester, standing up for him when some of the others wanted to exclude him. We all learned a very valuable lesson about tolerance and respect, and not to judge people by the outside. Sylvester may be hard, but he has a huggable soul. I mean, we didn't judge Cuddles for not being all spiky like other cacti, and thanks to that I have my best friend in the whole wide world! Apparently there's a group of people called 'bullies' who judge people for how they are or how they look. One day, I hope me and cuddles can show them how wrong they are and make them a better place.
Come here Cuddles, I need you. The world needs you. Especially Reginald. I think he likes you but is too shy to say. Silly Reginald!
