Cat of Bubastes #3

Chapter Four, Part A

There was a son of Ameres and his name is Chebron. Chebron said that he and Mysa, Ameres' daughter, marveled greatly at the captives blue eyes and light skin. Ameres told Chebron to apologize to Amuba because politeness was the rule in Egypt and Chebron has talked about the slaves in front of them without realized that Amuba could now speak and understand his language.

And then they went into the house and Amuba and Jethro met Mysa and Ameres' wife. His wife scolded him for letting their children become "so spoiled" and "I think that there are no children as spoiled as ours in the whole land of Egypt." And then, Chebron and Mysa took Amuba and Jethro into the garden where all their animals were. And boy, they had a TON of animals. I mean, there were 2 gazelles, and 3 kittens and an ichnuemon (see picture below), and there were a ton (A TON) of waterfowl. And when the four walked int

o the garden, all the animals went wild, screaming for food.

Mysa and Chebron told Jethro how to take care of their pets and where their food was. They also gave Jethro tips on how to best take care of the animals, since he was going to be responsible for them.

More on the ichneumon. More pictures of them.
