A man had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. He 1warm milk. It would not come down.
The tree was not 2enough to climb, so the man decided that if he tied a rope to his 3and pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then 4and get the kitten.
That's what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car. He then thought if he went just a little bit 5, the tree would be bent low enough for him to reach the kitten. But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope broke.
The tree went “boing!” and the kitten was nowhere to be found.
The man felt 6. He asked people he met if they'd 7a little kitten. No. Nobody had.
A few 8later he met a neighbor at the store. He happened to look into shopping basket and was 9to see cat food.
This woman was a cat 10and everybody knew it, so he asked her,"11are you buying cat food?" She replied, "You won't believe this," and then told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, 12she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally 13her little girl, "Well, I'll let you keep a cat if it falls from the 14."
She told the man, "I watched my child go out in the yard, and look straight into the sky. And really, 15won't believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying through the air, and landed right in front of her."
