The Credit Card
The other night I had been watching Otter Keeper order things on the computer. I like to look over his shoulder when he’s doing things on the computer because I Like the computer and I also really like the Otter Keeper. He uses a thing called the credit card which is what you need if you want to buy things on the computer! (Otter Keeper told me this).
I asked him if I could buy things and he said no, then I asked him if I could have an Otter credit card and he also said no (apparently they don’t make them for Otters). I felt a bit sad but when he was finished buying things he played on the PlayStation 3 and I forgot all about it because I love the PlayStation 3!
But the next day Otter Keeper was at work. I was bored so I tried to make an Otter credit card with my crayons and paper. This didn’t work so I thought Otter Keeper really wouldn’t mind if I borrowed his. I wanted to buy lots of jewellery so I would be a pretty Otter! I thought Otter Keeper would probably be very pleased. I wasn’t really sure how to buy stuff so I ordered lots of things just to make sure I got what I wanted. I had to press on the keyboard lots and lots, I spent most of the afternoon doing this and my paws got very tired.
BUT, Otter Keeper wasn’t pleased. I got into lots of trouble when he got home. I tried to explain that my Otter credit card hadn’t worked and so I had to use his, but he didn’t understand. I spent the rest of the evening hiding from him under the sofa. I won’t be buying things on the computer any more, I don’t think otters are supposed to.
I have the same problem, so my owner keeps the credit cards locked up. I don’t know how to make the keys work, or I’d unlock the front door and go outside to eat grass. It’s tough not having opposable thumbs.
Poor otter keeper. When he comes out of his tent, sit quietly on his lap and croon a song to him to cheer him up. Play gentle – people with colds don’t like noise and row. He feels like you do when you go under the sofa and get dust stuck up your nose and sneeze and sneeze and can’t get rid of it.
Hello Otter,
I had sort of a bad day – and when I am feeling out of sorts, reading Otter stories ALWAYS makes me feel better – I even found myself smiling – and laughing! Personally, I think you should be able to purchase nice, new things for yourself – and Teddy, too! Personally, I find you putting all that effort into attempting to create an Exclusive Otter Credit Line to be very ingenious! Worthy of extra credit, at least. Also very important – I learned where to put one of the articles of clothing on Otter from the little picture….very helpful.

Oh, Otter, you don’t need jewelry. You’re already very pretty.
