It's a ball! A big white ball and she waves it right in front of me, squealing when I jump on her trying to reach it. "Do you want this?" she asks. Do I want it? Of course I want it! That's why I'm jumping all over you like a kid on a sugar high.Finally she's thrown it! And I'm running and running after it. I can see and I'm so close. But then it hits the ground and disappears! Where has it gone? Where is it? I snuffle through the snow searching for it, digging for it, but it's not here! Is it magic? Did she trick me and not really throw it? She's done that to me before. But no, I saw it. How is it gone?
She whistles. "Katara, come back, girl." She hold up a hand and she has a little white ball in it! I run over and jump on her again. This time I'll get it. It won't escape again. She lets the ball fly and I chase after it.
I know! Where do those balls disappear to? And how do the humans have so many of them? It's the only time I've ever seen my human pull off a magic trick
