"Naco and the Robber"

     It was a normal night, and Naco was in his mom's room late at night when she was sleeping. Charlina, Naco's mom, was fast asleep and assumed Naco was also. Naco was curled up in his doggy bed when she fell asleep. He looked so peaceful, with his tiny black body all snuggled into his bed and his big brown eyes closed. Charlina always liked how Naco's tiny black body is highlighted with white feet and tan facial markings. While he is adorable, he is not as big and strong as the other big dogs, Loco and Gorda.
     Charlina assumed that Naxo went to sleep every night. However, he waited for a visitor every night after she fell asleep. This visitor, Chusma, is a three-inch hairy, purple troll that mentors Naco on how to become a less wimpy dog and be like the other two big dogs.
     So when Chusma came, Naco was sitting up and expecting him. Out from under the bed, the silly little troll hopped out to advise his friend, Naco. Chusma told him that he has been training so long and hard and that the only thing left for him to do is believe in himself. Naco had been running faster and longer, wrestling with the other two dogs, and even eating more to try to build up his strength. Now, as Chusma advised, the only thing left for him to do was develop the confidence of a larger, stronger by nature, dog. Chusma told him that one day, a challenge would arise for Naco to prove himself to be worthy of protecting the house with the other dogs. This challenge came a lot sooner than Naco expected.
     The next night, Charlina came home to find that she was home alone with the dogs. Mommy, Daddy, and Lee were out at a polka-dotted sock party until later that night. So Charlina just took a shower and sat down with Naco to watch TV. However, she noticed a strange light in the back yard. As she went to investigate a sound came at the front door. Immediately, Gorda, Loco, and Naco started barking and growling viciously. Gorda and Loco stayed at the front door barking, while something told Naco that he should go into the bathroom. As he sprinted away, the other two dogs barked that he was a chicken and a disgrace to guard the house. However, what Naco found in the bathroom was frightening and unexpected. Out of the toilet, a huge, muscular man was climbing. He knew Charlina was a vegetarian, and he wanted to steal all the tofu in the house and kidnap her to cook vegetarian food for him. Naco was so scared, but Chusma's voice came into his head and told him to be brave and confident like a big dog and to save his mommy. So Naco bit the robber on the nose, stuffed toilet paper in his mouth, and flushed him down the toilet never to be seen again. Charlina was frightened and watching from the distance as her little terrier saved her life. When Loco and Gorda came in, Naco explained everything that had happened. Both big dogs apologized for being so mean to Naco, and they told him how proud they were to guard the house with him.
      That night, Naco was anticipating the arrival of his visitor, excited to tell him what had happened. When Chusma came, Naco started to tell the story, but Chusma interrupted him and told him he had seen the whole thing from under the dusty couch. He told Naco how proud he was. When Naco thanked Chusma for making him like a big dog, Chusma, with a proud grin from pointy ear to pointy ear, told him that Naco only had himself to thank because he worked so hard. Then Chusma gave him a hug and told him that this would be his last visit. Naco no longer needed his guidance because he had proven that he was as good a guard dog as the bigger dogs. In fact, he was a better guard dog because he had demonstrated more courage than they ever had.

**** Yeah, I know that this is probably the silliest and most random stories imaginable, but Naco is my ideal hero! Naco was inspired by my little dog Pouki. <3
