Then, just as he thought it was safe to come out and
grab a particularly tasty-looking raw chicken bone,
he was stopped in his tracks by a beam of light.

“Come to me, it’s ok, I won’t hurt you.”

Rocco wasn’t sure what to do. He was out in the
open now, he could make a run for it.

“Good boy, come and see what I’ve got. Are
you hungry?”

The man did smell good, Rocco thought. Maybe he
could snatch the food and run?

“Here you go, what a handsome boy you are! Come,

let me take you to Maria.”

Rocco had no idea who Maria was but he was
tempted to go with the man. It was so cold here

and the men at the tip kept shouting and chucking
buckets of water at him. It was lonely and there was
no one to play with.

Maybe he should go and meet this Maria?
