Ellie is a little girl of school age who sees bad dreams night after night. Once, there was a huge tiger chasing her, and she kept running but couldn't get away.
So Ellie held her cat Flo in her hands to feel safe. Flo knows what's going on... But Ellie's Mom doesn't.
Ellie couldn't even think of the way to tell her Mom what has been happening at school. There is that mean girl who waits for her around the corner... She grabs her hand and pushes her over... And takes all of her lunch money...
