There I was, hanging on a hook in Kuala Lumpurs night market in Chinatown watching all these people come and go. No one looked at me. Those who did, pointed and laughed and carried on walking. For every time someone did stop my heart starting beating and I thought "This is it! This is the moment I find a new home - a better life!" But no.
And then along came Simon and Becky. They came up and prodded me, squeezed me and asked how much I was. "Special price, 20 Ringgits." And they walked off. Just like the rest of them. My heart sank. My Master shouted for less and less for me "15, 13, 10" as they walk away. Holding back a tear, I look the other way.
Next minute I'm being unhooked once again and to my delight Simon and Becky are back! They give my master 10 Ringgit and I'm forever released from the grips of The Master. I'm free!
My first night of freedom and I've found a nice comfy bed. I've been told we are off to explore Asia - this should be exciting!
