Cat Soup

By Luthie M West

In the kingdom of Bandon, the princess loses her beloved cat! One day the cat gets trapped in a traveling tinker’s cart and without knowing it, many miles away, the frightened cat jumps out and runs away. The princess’s father, the king, will give half his kingdom to the one who finds the cat. Afar off, the King of Hod sends his son, Gael, out to find the cat, but he is delayed when he finds a cottage in the woods where a pot of soup is boiling. Gael eats it and falls asleep only to be awakened by an ogre, who tells him it was cat soup. The ogre threatens to kill him for stealing the soup, but Gael promises to give the ogre half a kingdom if he will take the prince back to the kingdom of Hod. After many misadventures with the ogre, a cat is found. Is it the right cat? Does the ogre get half the kingdom? Does Gael? Or was it all just Cat Soup?
The story has a double ending which gives it special appeal to its readers. There is an excerpt of the story, The Bully Frog, included at the end.

Luthie M West

Luthie M West currently lives with her husband in the beautiful state of Oregon. She grew up in a big family being the second of seven children and has two-point-five adult children of her own, who began learning to read at the age of two years.Once a teacher of English, Creative Writing, American Sign Language, and Art in secondary public and private schools, her first love is entertaining as a stage performer and storyteller. Her multi-faceted background has given her a wealth of experience that translates into incredibly captivating fantasy fiction."It is not always obvious to parents what impressions they have made on their children. The parent-child bond, developed by reading together, is immeasurable in terms of its influence on a child's future." Luthie explains, "When I was five years old, my mother read a story to us that she had written. Sure, I loved that she read to us, but I really loved that she wrote that one," she relates."So, I did the same with my own children, read favorite books to them, but also shared my own songs and stories. And I've seen them develop into very creative adults because of it."Luthie has told countless stories, many created on the spur of the moment, at parties and events for children and adults. Now she has written them down in order to share them with families everywhere. "There are three ways to get into the part of a character," she adds. "Act in some performance of a story or play someone wrote; read a story that someone wrote; and write the stories for someone else to act or read. I have loved doing all three. More importantly, I love that I can bring happy moments to others."In 2017, Luthie M West wrote and published four children's picture books. Today, Luthie is working on two young adult novels.
