I've dedicated this article to the misunderstood Snowager! I'm with you big
guy :)
Okay, what do you think of the Snowager? Most likely you think its evil, mean,
selfish. With thousands of items and refusing to share even a single Dubloon!
Not only that but it blasts your pets, a VERY mean thing to do…
Now I want to counter that, first the Snowager
is a he, not an it. Please remember his gender. Second, he is not evil, only
misunderstood. He blasts your pets as a defence mechanism to stop them from
stealing HIS STUFF.
There, I said it. The magic word on which I've based this entire article. Wake
up Neopians round the world! Sneaking in while the Snowager is asleep and grabbing
some item is stealing. One day when Helshew and I were going down to
the Snowager cave when he was sleeping, we were about to take an item when we
heard a shuffling--a Neopian and their pet (I'm not naming names) came in. They
took an item, and accidentally knocked over a Trumpet of Blasting, which tinkled
all the way down. The Snowager lifted his head and moaned, looking at it from
this angle I could see his eyes were heavy with exhaustion. The Snowager spotted
the item the Neopian's pet was holding and let loose a huge roar, the NeoPet
was stubborn, holding on to his treasure. Having ignored the two warnings the
Snowager reared and blasted the pet and owner, where they fled, cursing and
screaming.
And as the Snowager grew limp again something hit me, something broke, I suddenly
understood. And Helshew did to. She walked up to the sleeping Snowager and patted
it on the snout, I held my breath as the Snowager opened his eyes and glared
wearily at Helshew.
"Hi, I'm Helshew."
The Snowager reared and I leapt out of my hiding place. The Snowager turned
his head to me then back to Helshew.
"Thiiiieeeeevveeessss…" he hissed, his eyes burning with hatred.
"I've given up from stealing from your cave! Honest! And I don't want to fight
either!" cried Helshew, the Snowager swayed a bit, eyeing Helshew warily.
"What do you want then?" he finally hissed, eyeing Helshew suspiciously.
"I want to say I'm sorry for what I took, I want to tell the Neopians to STOP!
I'm on your side, stealing is bad."
The Snowager looked away, his eyes weary. He looked so old and tired "They
will never stop…" he said pityingly, then he gave a long sigh and sank back
curling up to sleep, and I swear there was a tear on his cheek…
That is the story I have to tell, I've given up sneaking into the Snowager's
Cave while he's asleep trying to steal his items and I want to implore
the Neopians out there to say NO against stealing, to let the Snowager have
one peaceful sleep. I know I can't tell everybody what to do, I know that not
everybody will agree with me but I want everyone to know this is a serious issue,
it should not be happening. Again, just say NO to stealing from the Snowager. |
