Four Wheeled Hero
rejoicing
which had brought all of the neighbours out into the street,
Tommy’s Dad went over to the police car and came back holding
‘Tiger’.
     
    ‘You will never
know how much I owe to this little hero’, Tommy’s Dad said. He took
on the whole gang single handed and beat the lot’, he added as he
passed ‘Tiger’ over to Smithy. ‘You should be so proud of him for
what he has done’.
     
    The excitement
over, Tommy and Smithy waved goodnight to each other as Tommy and
his family headed back to their bungalow to celebrate his dad’s
homecoming. Over the next few hours he listened with his Mum to a
full description of the events that had taken place until Tommy so
tired fell asleep snuggled up to his Dad on the sofa. The next
thing he knew was his Mum opening his bedroom curtains and wishing
him a good morning.
     
    Tommy felt
wonderful as he went in for breakfast seeing his Dad back in his
usual place. He had just got his bowl of cereal when there was a
loud
    knock on the
door. A little nervous at first, Tommy’s Mum opened the door to see
Smithy stood there with the Sunday paper in his hand.
     
    ‘Look at this,’
he said to Tommy and his family as he opened the paper out on the
kitchen table. The headlines were: ‘MAN EATING TIGER WINS THE DAY’.
The paper went on to tell its readers how Smithy’s cat ‘Tiger’ had
capture the crooks and stopped a £200,000 bank robbery.
     
    ‘The house is
surrounded by journalists and photographer’s’, said Smithy. ‘And
guess what’, he added. The bank is going to give ‘Tiger’ a £10,000
reward for his bravery and Dad said he can go in the shed any time
he wants’.
     
    ‘And so he
should’, said Tommy’s Dad. ‘He is a hero’.
     
    Tommy knowing
that the truth could never be told, he winked at his best mate and
said. ‘That’s what true hero’s are made of, ain’t they Smithy’.
