Great White Gifts

Today I lowered my newspaper to find Smudge watching me with an innocent expression.




"The local aquarium are missing a great white," I remarked, eyeing Smudge closely.

The cat didn't reply.

"There is a trail of large teeth leading from the front door to the garage," I said.

A few moments passed.

"The shark has already been dispatched," Smudge informed me calmly.

"Dispatched to where?" I asked him.

"Iceland," he replied. "The exact location is confidential."

I sighed with frustration. "And did you gain anything from this particular transaction?"

"Plenty," Smudge said.

"Do I want to know?" I asked.

Smudge was thoughtful for a moment. "No," he decided finally, "Probably not."
