On a small road at the edge of the city, the cold winter wind swept away the last remaining leaves. A young boy named Minh walked along this road on his way home from school. Along the way, he saw a sight that touched his heart: a small cat lying on the roadside, trembling in the cold and the feeling of being abandoned.
Unable to ignore it, Minh approached the cat. He realized that the cat had been abandoned and was very hungry and thirsty. Minh’s small heart ached as he witnessed this pitiful scene. He reached out to warm the cat and spoke to it gently.
“Don’t worry, little cat,” Minh said, “We’ll find a way to help you.”
Minh couldn’t take the cat home because his family didn’t allow pets, but he decided not to abandon the cat. Instead, he took the cat to a nearby pet store and asked for help. The store owner, a kind woman named Ha, assessed the cat and agreed to help.
Ha took care of the cat, making sure it had enough food and warmth. The cat, who was named Lucky, began to regain its strength under Ha’s care. Every day, Minh visited the pet store to see Lucky. The bond between Minh and Lucky grew stronger each day, and Lucky became a great source of encouragement in Minh’s life.
As the days passed, Lucky became healthier than ever, but Minh knew that he couldn’t keep the cat at the pet store forever. He decided to find a suitable family to care for Lucky. Minh shared about Lucky on social media and asked interested people to contact him if they wanted to adopt a cat.
One day, a kind family contacted Minh. They had lost their own cat and wanted to care for Lucky as part of their family. Minh knew this was the best opportunity for Lucky, even though saying goodbye to the cat was emotional.
Before Lucky left, Minh hugged the cat one last time and said, “Live happily, Lucky. You’ll always be in my heart.”
With the warmth and love from his new family, Lucky began a new life full of happiness. Minh felt happy knowing that Lucky would never have to experience the feeling of being abandoned and lonely again. However, the bond between Minh and Lucky would forever remain in the boy’s heart, as a memory of friendship and compassion.
