Paul went for a hat to hide his ears. But as he tried to slide it over his head he realized that the hat would never hide his tall ears. But then a thought entered his head. He didn't have to hide them. He could act like they were one of those novelty toys. With his tail strapped tightly to his leg and invisible save for a slight lump down his pant leg, no one would care and he could keep having fun. He already forgot about the sound he made when he laughed. Continuing on, he ran into a group of boys.
"Whoa. What is up with you?" One boy asked, gawking at his ears.
"Oh its just a toy I got here." Paul said. Then he felt his ears move. "They are battery powered." He quickly lied.
"Cool man! Well have fun!" The boy said as they parted ways.
Paul smiled. He was free to have fun and he didn't even have to hide his ears. For some reason it made him feel good. He almost wished he could let his tail out too...
