Today was a strange day. Police caught Ranga, the thief who committed the theft at the
house and I lost my friend. He had helped me to fulfill my desire of roaming in the streets. I
became the hero of the day as everyone thought that I was following Ranga as a detective.
They don’t know that he was my friend and I loved him a lot. I could never do this. If I could
speak, I would have told everyone. But now what do I do. I really don’t know. The family who
owns me is very happy and thinks that I am such a hero which I am not. I really hope that
police releases Ranga and we can be good friends again. I am so sad and unhappy without my
friend.
