This is Story of Mouse and Kitty

10

Kitty really wants to eat

Mouse. One day, Mouse

ran into a small hole,

which was a perfect size

for hiding away. Kitty

tried to reach Mouse

from the outside of the

hole but couldn’t. Mouse

decided to stay there

until the Kitty went away.

3 days later, Mouse heard

a familiar voice from

outside of hole. Woof

Woof! Well! That must be

John, the dog! I am

saved! John would have

scared Kitty away. I

should say thank you to

John!

Kitty caught Mouse as

soon as Mouse came out

of the hole. Mouse said,

“Where is the John!?” Kitty

said, “Mouse, it’s hard to

survive in this world with

just one language!”
