Shady Cat and the Sun Dog
As you certainly know, Shady Cats love the shade on a hot day
But today was very different.
The Sun was high and bright, but there was no shade!
Oh this made Shady Cat very mad.
How could the sun be up, but there be no shade under the tree-
Or under the chair, the bench, the flowers, or table?
She searched low and high, and everything between –
Until she found the problem: Sun Dog was on the roof!
“Sun Dog!” she cried, “Mraww Mraww!”
“If you are here on the roof, that makes two suns!”
“How will I ever get any shade?”
Sun Dog jumped up and down and happy happy happy!
He wagged his tail and said,”Come play with come play with me”
So Shady Cat said,” Sun Dog! Come back at night!”
“Two suns is too much! It’s too hot for me to play.”
“Come back at night and I can play with you!”
So Sun Dog jumped for joy and ran off and Shady Cat got her shade.
She slept all day in the cool shade until night fell.
And then quick as she could, she ran inside the house and hid from Sun Dog.
Because Shady Cats do not like to play with Sun Dogs.
