This jackal's name\u0026nbsp; was Anubeus. Anubeus had a katana and a wakizashi. He was a swordsman, skilled like the samurai, Miyamoto Mushashi. Anubeus was alone and sad. He wanted a boyfriend. (Yes, he is gay.)\n\nAnubeus sighed like a lion. \"_¡Ay!_ I don't have a boyfriend that I could love him.\" He knelt and prayed, \"Lord, where is my love? Tell me, please! In the name of Jesus Chrsit. Amen!\" The tears hit the jackal's tunic.\n\n**------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------**\n\nIn La Ciudad de Chacales, there was an anthroporphic\u0026nbsp;rabbit with wite fur and black hair was in his house, reading a love poem:\n\n_The Guardian of the Dead_\n\n_by Julio Juan Zórrez_\n\n_I see the guardian of the dead /\u0026nbsp; While he watches the dead. /\u0026nbsp; This jackal has stolen my heart, / like a thief on\u0026nbsp;roof; / At night, he raises his sword / in the defense of the honored\u0026nbsp;city. / He is a big demon\u0026nbsp;of the\u0026nbsp;battlefield, / And the\u0026nbsp;evil politicians he\u0026nbsp;staps.\u0026nbsp;_\n\nJulio has fallen in love with Anubeus.\u0026nbsp;Julio\u0026nbsp;went to school with\u0026nbsp;the\u0026nbsp;jackal with blond hair and black fur.

There, Julio saw the person that he loved_---_Anubeus. This rabbit was like a schoolgirl. He went up to Anubeus. Julio nervously asked, \"How are you, Mr. Anubeus?\"\n\n\"Hello, good. Thank you. Friend, what is your name?\" Anubeus said.\n\nJulio was surprised that Anubeus used the _tú_ from [_tú_ is the informal\u0026nbsp;(used with friends and close family)\u0026nbsp;for \"you\" in Spanish]. \"Julio Juan Zórrez,\" he said.\n\nAnubeus smiled at Julio, then said, \"I read your poem, \"The Guardian of the Dead,\" and I liked it.\"\n\nJulio liked this commemt. \"Thank you. You were the inspration...and...and...\"\n\n\"You fell in love with me?\"\n\n\"Yes, it is of truth.\" Julio smiled at Anubeus.\n\n\"Meet me at the hill that is called _El Cerro de Ruth La Madre_\u0026nbsp;[The Hill of\u0026nbsp;Ruth the Mother]\u0026nbsp;tomorrow morning.\"\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n**[The Next Day]**\n\nJulio walked to _El Cerro de Ruth La Madre_, thinking: _Am I over dressed?_ He was wearing exersice clothes; the clothes were grey. Eyes open when he saw Anubeus, Julio knew that Anubeus was wearing clothes for praticing karate; the clothes were black.\n\n\"Hello, Julio!\" yelled Anubeus.\n\n\"Hello! How are you?\"\n\n\"Good, darling.\"\n\nJulio noticed that Anubeus had two bokken.\n\n\"I have a gift for you.\" Anubeus gave a bokken to the rabbit.\n\n\"Thank you, Anubeus.\"\n\n\"I'm going to teach you how to fight with bokken.\" Anubeus said.\n\nSmilling Julio said, \"Sounds like fun.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
