The Right to Power

Wesley lay on the ground, looking on in despair as Big White brazenly stole the honey from his hand.

The guy who had dressed up as China's National Treasure rested one hind leg lightly on Wesley's chest, happily sticking out his tongue to lick the honey he'd stolen.

Ginny came running over in denim overalls and a denim jacket, her tousled hair sticking out in every direction. She held Sapling in both arms, the little tree looking dizzy from being jostled around.

The little girl giggled and rubbed her face against Big White's neck, then hurried over to Wesley's head with Sapling, who looked like he was about to throw up. She looked down at the poor guy and asked curiously, "What happened, Wesley?

Did Big White scare you?"

Faced with the little princess's question, how could Wesley tell her he'd come to coax Big White into helping with some work, only to get bullied by the unruly bear?

Looking at Ginny's innocent expression, Wesley forced a smile and said, "Robert sent me to find Big White. He needs a little help, but...

Sweetheart, please get Big White to take his leg off my chest. I think I'm about to suffocate."

Ginny wrinkled her cute little nose at Wesley. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Grandpa Robert needs help?

You should find my dad. Big White won't leave my side..."

As she spoke, Ginny plopped down on the ground by Wesley's head, propped her chubby little hands against her cheeks, and looked at the poor guy. "Why don't you take me there? I'll help Grandpa Robert fight, and Big White will help too."

How could Wesley agree to that? Even with the guts of a tiger, he wouldn't dare take Hell's Kitchen's little princess out on a dangerous mission.
