Sir Cedrick Cheetah

Tired of stories about talking bears? Bored with teenage romances? Read enough historically based fiction? Take some time and enjoy some rhyming whimsy! Sir Cedrick Chetah is the story about a cheetah who, through a set of unusual circumstances, sincerely believes he has been knighted. Cedrick lets this situation go to his head, and he becomes seriously infatuated with his new station, with the result that he becomes intolerably arrogant and demanding of the other animals. When word of his behavior gets to the king of beasts, the lion, the animal king deicides it's time to take action. He confronts Cedrick with the harsh reality that the cheetah's ego has completely misled him and has resulted in his irrational behavior. Cedrick completely accepts his reprimand and acknowledges his misbehavior. The lion recognizes that Cedrick is remorseful and sees an opportunity for the cheetah to become an asset for good. The lion elicits Cedrick's promise to use a bona fide knighthood for good and being the king, bestows knighthood on Cedrick. The cheetah now uses his status for good, and the message is thorough and complete. If you enjoyed this story, look for other stories and adventures of Sir Cedrick Cheetah to be forthcoming.
