Hello everyone! Today I have a very exciting story about an amazing treasure that Liliana Tuxedo Cat finds in her attic. Enjoy!
Liliana Tuxedo Cat threw herself down on her bed. She was mad. Really mad. Her mother had just told her that if she wanted new roller-skates she would have to pay for them herself. Roller-skates were expensive, Liliana had no idea how she would pay for them. Then it dawned on her! She would have a garage sale. All she needed was to find some stuff to sell....
She looked over at her sister Rosetta's vanity set and makeup. Liliana thought that the vanity took up precious room, in the room she shared with her sister. Now, she had an excuse to get rid of it. Liliana started to fantasize what she could do with the extra space, when a thought dawned on her. There was no way Rosetta would ever let Liliana get away with it. Ever.
Liliana decided to look behind her bed in the so - called "attic." She was sure that there had to be some old toys that she could sell. With all her might, she pushed the bed aside so she could reveal what lay behind the bed.
Old toys were scattered all around the alcove, and there was dust ... everywhere. The dust blanketed the toys in a thin layer of grime. Liliana tried to blow off the dust on top of an old play table but all the dust just came back into her face. Liliana coughed, and swatted the dust away from her face.
She saw that didn't look like a toy under the play table. She picked it up. It was a newspaper. On the top of the page it said "A Day In Brambly Corners." She touched part of the newspaper, and it disintegrated into her paws. The pictures were very old, she decided to look through them all very carefully...

Town Photo: 1885
Liliana was stunned, she couldn't believe that this newspaper was from 1885! Liliana realized what great money she could make off of this newspaper! She would be able to buy those roller-skates in no time. She was about to put a price tag on the newspaper, when she suddenly realized that it wouldn't be right. This was a town treasure. If was rare to find photos from so long ago, in such good shape! Liliana firmly decided to take the newspaper to Mayor Tippytail. Liliana decided that she could wait until Christmas to get her roller-skates. Before, giving the newspaper to the Mayor though, she took a last peek at the photo of Laura (Lillian's great - great grandmother), Ida, and Rebecca. They reminded Liliana so much of her friends Isabelle and Renee. Maybe, just maybe they were Isabelle and Renee's great - great grandmothers.....
