Luvi's New Look

Translator: Magdalena Cooper

One evening, as Luvi was going for a walk he noticed the door to the beauty parlour was open.

Luvi peeked inside. It was empty!

"I need a new look," thought Luvi.

He began to cut his hair, trim his whiskers and...

... even cut his claws!

Then, Luvi styled his hair.

Soon, Luvi had a completely new look!

Luvi walked proudly to meet his friends. Oh no! Luvi's friends didn't recognize him and began to attack him.

As Luvi limped away a pesky mouse laughed at his new look.

"You are not scary," squeaked the mouse.

Luvi was furious. “I’m going to catch you!” yelled Luvi and jumped at the mouse.

But, Luvi had trimmed his claws so he couldn't catch the mouse.

Poor Luvi walked home, hurt and tired.

Luvi decided to hide for a while and eat some fish to feel better.

He will come out when his hair and claws are back!
