Sitting and Waiting

I sat and waited.

I waited a little longer.

Pretty soon I forgot why I was waiting.

But I didn’t want to get up and leave because what if what I was waiting for showed up and I wasn’t there.

I sat for a while longer. A tiger arrived and walked right up to me. It looked me up and down and licked its lips.

I didn’t want to look like I wasn’t sure if the tiger was what I was waiting for, so I pet its head. The tiger purred.
