The Tail of Shady Cat
Shady cat woke up one morning and she was missing her tail.
So very said she cried and cried, looking for her precious tail!
How could it be missing she wondered, where could it have gone!
“Nyyahhh nyyahha nyyahhh,” crying was not helping at all
So she stopped crying and thought back to the last place she had seen it
“Right before bed!” she thought to herself.
She surely had it as she remembered curling up with the tail wrapped around her!
Only one place to look: “Someone must have taken it in my dream!”
So Shady Cat curled up, a bit sad sad without her tail, and went back to sleep.
Shady Cats are very good at sleeping and at dreaming
Soon she was snoring and fidgeting her little paws because she was chasing the thief!
It had HER tail on IT’S butt!
So she raced and raced, chasing her tail but no matter how fast she ran, it was always ahead!
If she went faster, it went faster, if she went slower, it went slower.
But Shady Cat did not care, she was not mad or sad anymore! She was having fun!
Just then she heard someone call: “Shady Cat! Food time!”
Shady Cat jumped and ran to get food, her tail swishing happily behind her.
