The Speech of Animals: A Novella About Animals Talking

By Kingsley C. Nurse

Haven't you always wanted to know what the world would look like if animals were allowed to talk, and we, as humans, were now able to understand them? What would happen? What would they say? How would Humans react to what they said? All these questions I sought to answer in this highly imaginative and entertaining novella. The first part of this story was designed to contrast between a simple house cat and her human mother, and what was happening in the outside world. The second half of the story deals with worldwide implications.

This story, in concept, is both scary, yet intriguing. On one hand, I would love to be able to talk to birds, and animals as they went about their daily life. Can you imagine what the older species would say? Could you imagine what we could learn from fish, swimming deep in the oceans? Or wise, strong Elephants as they traversed the terrain? Or simply the minute machinations of the inner parts of the earth from insects and bugs who creep and burrow deep within? Yet on the other hand, would we want to hear the raw truth of what they might think about us? How we have thus treated them so far? How we currently live and use the resources on this planet?

I think this story should prove quite entertaining.

Foreword

My Dearest Reader,

Thank you so much for choosing to read my book! I am eternally grateful for you. I only hope that I can provide you with such entertainment that will give you an enjoyable read in a short sitting.

This novella encompasses three short stories from my compilational work. It contains the first two stories, The Speech of Animals I and The Speech of Animals II, along with the conclusion Animals Unite. All three stories are divided up between my first two short story compilation books, but I always meant to publish this as one whole novella, so that readers can enjoy it in one sitting.

The initial parts of the story explore a personal relationship between a girl and her cat. They have a small enlightening conversation, and this in contrast, immediately pivots to the broader world view, with the latter parts leaving off the personal conversations of the girl with her pet, to dealing entirely with worldwide implications.

So why such a strange concept? Surely we all wonder what the world would look and sound like if animals were able to voice their opinions. Aren’t you curious to find out?

When I was writing this, I let my imagination take me wherever it led. I had so much fun. I pray that you will let your imagination take you to places you never knew you could go.

I hope you enjoy,

-Kingsley

The Speech of Animals

What words in rhyme can reach the height of its peak? For animals now talk, Yes, now they can speak.

G

od came down one day and visited the Earth. He saw the state of affairs of all humans. He watched the cruelty and suffering of animals at the hands of some people. He watched how some people cared little for the animals he placed in human care. He had done this many times before, but he observed it all once again. He considered how they felt.
