'Come here, Kitten-Cat!' miaowed Mamma-Cat, running after him. 'Don't run off on your own. There may be big noisy cars about!'
But Kitten-Cat wouldn't listen. He was feeling much too grand.
Kitten-Cat ran past the ice-cream van.He ran past the school children.
He ran into the road!
'Oh no! Kitten-Cat! STOP!' wailed Mamma-Cat.
'Oh no! STOP!' called the school children.
SQUEAL went the brakes of the big noisy cars.
STOP went the cars!
STOP went the bus!
STOP went the bicycles!
And
STOP went Kitten-Cat, right in the middle of the road!
SHUT went Kitten-Cat's eyes in fright.
The school children picked up Kitten-Cat and carried him home to Little-Girl. Little Girl cuddled him, then put him in his basket and covered him with a blanket.
Mamma-Cat licked him till he felt better, and his fur shone soft and clean. The silver bell on his collar still tinkled when he moved.
But poor little Kitten-Cat. He did not feel grand any more.
He just felt scared and VERY SILLY!
Come Here, Kitten-Cat
