A Day in the Life of Lena

INT. KITCHEN – DAY

Lena, a young kitten, sits on the counter, watching as her human, Mia, mixes up a batch of cookies.

MIA: (to Lena) You know, Lena, you’re such a good helper. You always know when I need a little extra company in the kitchen.

LENA: (meows)

MIA: (laughs) I know, I know. You’re just here for the cookies.

Lena’s tail twitches as she watches the dough being scooped onto the baking sheet.

MIA: (to Lena) Hey, do you want to try a little bit of the dough?

Lena’s eyes light up and she eagerly nibbles on a piece of dough.

MIA: (to Lena) Be careful, that dough is raw. You don’t want to get sick.

Lena looks sheepish but continues to nibble on the dough.

MIA: (to Lena) You know what, I have an idea. Why don’t we go for a walk in the park? It’s such a nice day outside.

LENA: (meows excitedly)

MIA: (smiles) Let’s go then.

INT. PARK – DAY

Lena and Mia walk through the park, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. Lena bounds around, chasing after birds and butterflies.

MIA: (to Lena) You’re such a little adventurer, aren’t you?

LENA: (meows)

MIA: (laughs) I bet you’re having the time of your life.

Suddenly, Lena’s attention is drawn to a group of children playing nearby. She trots over to them and begins to play.

CHILD 1: (to Lena) Hey, kitty! What’s your name?

LENA: (meows)

MIA: (to the child) Her name is Lena. She’s from Afghanistan.

CHILD 2: (to Lena) That’s a cool name! What do you do for a living?

LENA: (meows)

MIA: (to the child) Well, she’s just a kitten. But if she were a human, she might be a teacher or a scientist.

CHILD 3: (to Lena) Wow, that’s really cool! Can we play with you some more?

LENA: (meows excitedly)

MIA: (to the children) I’m sorry, but we have to go now. It was nice meeting you all.

The children say goodbye and Lena and Mia continue on their walk.

INT. KITCHEN – DAY

Lena and Mia return home and the cookies are now finished and cooling on the counter.

MIA: (to Lena) Look, the cookies are ready. Do you want to try one?

LENA: (meows excitedly)

MIA: (to Lena) Here you go. But be careful, they’re still warm.

Lena takes a bite of the cookie and her eyes widen in delight.

LENA: (meows happily)

MIA: (to Lena) I’m glad you like it. You know, Lena, you may be a kitten, but you have the spirit of a true adventurer.

Lena purrs contentedly and nuzzles against Mia’s hand.

FADE TO BLACK.
