Weird Pet I

Back in elementary, I had a lizard who's less than an inch long. It was still a baby but already lost its tail. I named it....Tailless.
The first time I saw Tailless, he was a lonely lizard wandering in a pile of books and papers on top of our study table. I saw him and felt the need to take care of the poor lizard. I tried to catch him but he was running really fast and scared... I finally caught Tailless and locked him in my cupped palm... I tried to give him a grain of rice but was too scared to accept my offer. After a few minutes of taming... Tailless finally made friends with me. He took the grain of rice and ate it. He was looking at me with mysterious eyes... He probably is thankful because he was really hungry. I set Tailless free by putting him on the drapes...
The next morning I saw Tailless running down from our drapes. I was happy to see him and so I offered him a ride on my palm. He unhesitantly boarded my palm and I was happy. I took him to get some rice grains for him to eat. He was a healthy lizard and seems to be a happy one. When I arrived from school, Tailless would usually come down from the drapes and I would put him and hang him on my shorts. And this went on for days. Until one day, my mother felt the need to give him food so she tried to catch Tailless. Tailless was really scared and ran far away from the drapes and my mom. When I got back, I could not find Tailless. He was gone. He was nowhere in sight. I wonder if he's now a happy lizard... *sigh*
hahaha... as weird as it may seem, everything about this story is true... I really had a lizard named Tailless. :D
