A Black Cat

A Black Cat

Lucky enjoyed living up to his nickname. Although not exactly superstitious, he was aware that it would be foolish to tempt fate. You would not find him showing off to his friends by walking underneath a ladder, for instance.

Thus it was, when he saw a black cat crossing his intended path one day, he immediately decided to use a different route to his ultimate destination.

His brother, Buddy, on his way to identifying the body, decided that it was mere coincidence that Lucky’s changed path took him past the zoo, where a black panther had escaped only minutes beforehand.
