THE FROG AND THE CAT IN THE TEAPOT

Once upon a time there was a lady who loved cats! Big cats, little cats, she just loved cats! One day, she let out all her cats for a run around the garden. The lady’s favourite cat Silky, went to have a drink in the pond as usual and when she started drinking, she heard a “Help, help” coming from the hose. “That’s funny” thought Silky “ Hoses don’t talk!” And after a long time of thinking, she realised that there must be someone in the hose! So, Silky looked through a hole in the hose and saw a little frog. “What are you doing in there?” Silky asked. “It’s a long story” said the frog quietly “I’ll tell you when someone gets me out!” Silky helped the frog and the frog explained why he was in the hose. “I was playing hide and seek” he began “and it was my turn to hide and I thought this would be a good hiding place but I got stuck and I am very hungry!” Well, why didn’t you say so?!” asked Silky “Come with me”. So Silky lead the frog to the kitchen and sat him down at the table. She got the enormous, old tea pot and sat it on the table with some bread and honey. Silky lifted up the tea pot and removed the lid to pour in the water but she fell in! The frog looked horrified and as he looked in to help Silky, he fell in too!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN?!!!

Two days went by and all they got to eat was some bread with honey that the frog was holding in his hand when he fell in. The cat lady was really worried about Silky and made sure that all the other cats were safe indoors because she didn’t want to loose any more cats! And while she was crying she was looking at the old tea pot and she said to her husband “this tea pot is quite old and not wanted, lets smash it!!” and so she did! THE FROG AND SILKY ARE SAVED!!!!!!!

The End
