One sunny day there is a knock on Hazel's door...
HAZEL: Welcome home, I'm Hazel and this will be your house too! We are all very happy to have you here.
Could you tell me your name?
NEW KITTY: (whispers) F-f-fennix
NEW KITTY: but nobody wants me, because I'm ugly, and they were throwing me away, and... (sniffle)
HAZEL: Now listen to me, Fennix, I don't want you to ever think you are ugly! You are beautiful! And we want you here! They were very bad men, and they didn't deserve to have a cockroach let alone a lovely kitty-girl like you!
HAZEL: This is your home, it's not a lab. I teach school three days a week, and I will give you other assignments as needed. You can use the computer too, just ask first. Now, would you rather have something to eat or something better to wear first? And later I can show you where you can sleep, too. Welcome home, Fennix!
