Chapter 3: A long talk
After a few minutes, Slaga was called in again. Lou sat down with Slaga. "I want to talk to you." Said Lou. "I'm listening." Replied Slaga. "Slaga," Lou went on, "you are not like other sligs. You a different kind of slig." "I've realized that dad." Interupted Slaga. "I bet you have," Lou went on, "all the other sligs, as you can see, are excited of killing mudokkons and shooting things. You are interested of nature and kindness, which really concerns your mom and I." "Why can't sligs live any life they want?" Asked Slaga. "They can, darling. It's just that mostly other sligs choose the same path. I guess this nature and kindness thing just got you off track." Replied Lou. "I see." Said Slaga.
Slaga felt comfortable with this talk, even though it included evil things. "You can choose this path. It's just that your life could be more in danger if you choose this path." Said Lou. "I don't care if my life is in danger. I just want a better life for all of the other creatures." Replied Slaga. Lou did a big sigh. "I don't think that'll happen." Said Lou. "It's an odd world, ANYTHING can happen." Replied Slaga. "Slaga, when your 10 we shall find you a place to work and then you'll be like other sligs." Said Lou. Slaga did a big sigh. "I don't think that'll change." Replied Slaga.
Slaga sat in a corner of a house and start reading a book called, "The beauty Mother Nature. "Gimme that book." Ordered Lou. "No!" Rejected Slaga. "I've got an even better book." Said Lou. He walked upstairs for a minute and then came back with another book in his hand. He held it up to Slaga's face. It was titled "To kill a mudokkon" showing a mudokkon's head on a stick. "I can't believe you! My own father trying to change my life!" Exclaimed Slaga. He climbed all the way up the staits. Lou heard his door shut.
Lou went upstairs and knocked on his door. "Slaga, don't be like this." Ordered Lou. "I won't let you change my life!" Replied Slaga. Lou heard Slaga crying. "This is bad." Said Lou. Lou went back downstairs. "How am I going to get him to be evil?" Asked Lou. He sat in a chair and started thinking.
