The next morning…

"Mom, Dad!" Mr. Cotton is gone! I can't find him."

"Oh honey." "We have to tell you something. It may be hard for you to hear."

"The first thing you need to know before we begin is, well, Mr. Cotton isn't really gone. He's just in another state of being. And in that state, he can't be with you anymore."

"What? I don't understand..."

"Well, Honey, what we're trying to say is..."

...Mr. Cotton has metamorphosized. You see, like caterpillars, hamsters are just the larval state of a more complex creature."

"So Mr. Cotton is a butterfly?"

"Of course not! Hamsters become pigs. That's where we get "Ham", you see?"

"So, it just isn't practical to keep Mr. Cotton. He's gone to a nice farm where there's plenty of room for him run around."

"I'll miss him, Mom."

"Mr. Cotton will miss you, too."
