Adventures of Shaun the Jaguar

 

         Long ago there was a jaguar named Shaun. He lived with a guardian named Sammy. They lived in a little beautiful city of New York near the ocean. Shaun was so good at running that he got a medal for the fastest jaguar in the world.
         One hot summer afternoon Shaun and Michael were having races when a tiny elf brought a message that said, “Come to Tiffany’s Shop to find out how much the watch costs.” Shaun decides to go. Michael says, “Whatever you do, don’t go to Hells Valley.”
         Shaun put on a white t-shirt and his favorite jogging shoes. He packed a lunch bag and a drink. See you later Michael. I should be back tomorrow. After twenty minutes Shaun stops to take a drink. He notices a sign that says “Shortcut to Tiffany’s Store this way.” Shaun decides to take the shortcut and walks right into Hell’s Valley.
         The moment Shaun entered the Hell’s Valley, he got trapped in a steel cage. Then Shaun heard a big growl. Shaun turned and saw a big hairy beast. He had red eyes, orange hair, and his breath smelled like onions. He said, “My name Baba Lovaba and you’re going to be my dinner!”
         Shaun was thinking so hard that smoke came out of his ears. He decided to challenge Baba Lovaba to a race. He said fine and let Shaun out of the cage. Then Baba Lovaba made a starting line and a finish line. He said, “On your mark, get set, GO!” He ran as fast as he could toward the finish line. Shaun ran as fast as he could in the other direction right out of Hell’s Valley.
         Finally Shaun was safe. He went directly to Tiffany’s Shop. When he got there he went to the counter and bought the watch. Then Shaun the Jaguar ran as fast as he could straight home. When Shaun got home Michael asked how his trip was. “Great” Shaun said. Shaun told him about how he went into Hell’s Valley and said he should have listened to him.
