It's Raining Cats!


One day Stella's kitten runs out of the house and climbs up a tree.

The kitten is afraid to come down. Stella tries everything. She makes purring sounds and puts out warm milk and the kitten's favorite toy. Nothing works.

The tree is much too weak to climb, but Stella has an idea. She ties a rope to the tree branch. She pulls on the rope very slowly to make the branch bend down low enough for her to grab the kitten.

Stella pulls just a little bit at a time. Suddenly, the rope breaks. The tree goes "Boing!" and the cat goes flying through the air, out of sight.

Stella feels terrible. She looks and looks, but can't find the cat anywhere.

The next day, Stella sees her neighbor Sam in the supermarket. Sam does not like cats, but has a cart full of cat food.

"You hate cats. Why are you buying cat food?" asks Stella. Sam answers, "You'll never believe this. My daughter has been asking for a cat for a long time. I always told her that a cat would have to fall from the sky, because I wasn't going to get one!"

Stella doesn't have the heart to ask for her cat back.
