The Rat in the Cat
The cat saw a rat.
The rat saw the cat
and RAN.
The cat ran after the rat. The cat ran fast. But the rat ran faster.
The rat went under a mat.
The cat jumped over it and
MISSED!
The rat hid. The cat searched up
and down.
The cat looked inside the dustbin
and outside it.
The rat stayed hidden. The cat slept on the mat.
The rat ran.
Fat cat. No rat.
