Hyena for a pet | Story by Dev, 10, Bangalore

It was a beautiful day.

Best friends Louis and Frederick were playing handball. Suddenly, they saw some movement in the bushes. Intrigued, they went closer to realize that it was a hyena!

They couldn’t believe that a hyena was out there, free in civilization! They had an idea. What if they kept it as their pet? Both of them agreed, so they went to try and teach the hyena.

To their surprise, it did not attack them. The friends felt excited and decided to play with the hyena. Finally, it was evening, and the hyena wandered off. What a fun day it was!

Do you think the hyena would return? Take your idea forward by sending in your own story on what happened next?
