The Shopkeeper

John did not believe this was an accident so he went back to the shopkeeper the next day. John asked him why he had sold him a magical cat. The shopkeeper pretended not to know what John was talking about. He whisked his patrons outside and turned the sign to closed. He walked back to John and says, ”Keep your voice down!”
“You knew didn’t you? “ asked John.

The Cat Calls

“You will see in time,” said the Cat. “You will need me in all of your journeys from here on out and we shall protect each other.” Suddenly John heard foots steps. The headmaster called to him. “Quickly,” John whispered. The cat jumped back to his perch and sat. John appeared to be asleep. “John, is everything okay, I thought I heard noises?” called Malic. “Everything is fine,” said John as he woke up pretending to be sleep. The headmaster gathered his flashlight and left. John called to the cat, but it didn’t awaken.

The Cat Mummy

“ Three US dollars,” said the shopkeeper.
“Why is it so cheap?” asked John. The shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders; relics go in and out of style. John Henry happened to have dollars saved. He said all right. The shopkeeper stared after John as he left his shop.
“ Good Luck,” he hollered after John.
He took the cat back to his room. That night he was sleeping and he heard something call out to him. Suddenly the cat was mortal. It was purring and arching its back as it paced along the room.

The Oracle's Shop

The next day he took a walk into town. John walked into a shop. The shop was full of books of spells and charms. This was indeed very rare in Egypt so he walked around what seemed like hours looking at the old books. His eye rested on a cat. The shopkeeper walked up to him and began to speak about the cat. “This is a cat mummy,” he said.
“A real one?” asked John.

The Orphan's Home

The orphanage looked like a large gymnasium. The staff was small. The girl’s orphanage will come to spend the day today. The girls slide into a seat across from the boys and giggled the whole time. After breakfast left the orphanage and went to his favorite place on the Nile. He walked outside and sat on the bank. Large sailboats floated along the deep blue water. It was a white turquoise blue. The shore was made of rocks. The grass just beyond grew from the most beautiful and fertile land on this side of Egypt. The orphanage itself was large and white with many windows and rooms. A large white dome perched on the very top of this building. The orphanage itself was a mystery complete with old ruins and catacombs he had yet to explore.
