Episode 3:A Clever Cat

At home Carabas locked his door.He fed Puss bits of bread.

"Oh, Puss. "He said, "I wish I had more food for you."

Carabas ate his own dinner. It was a small bowl of soup. He dipped some bread in it.

Soon, Puss went to sleep. A chilly wind blew under the door. Carabas put a blanket over the cat. Later, Carabas counted his money. That night he tossed and turned in bed. "Soon I will need more money,"he thought. "What will I do?"

The next morning Carabas worked in the garden. Puss was sleeping nearby. A mouse ran past. Suddenly the cat's paws shot out. He caught the mouse. Puss licked his lips. Carabas blinked in surprise. "Puss wasn't asleep,"he thought. "Puss tricked that mouse. He's a clever cat."

That afternoon, Carabas spotted Puss again. "What is that cat doing now?"he thought. The cat was at the garden shed. With his back feet, he hung from the doorway. Just then a mouse ran by. Smack! Puss grabbed it. Carabas laughed softly. "That cat is amazing," he said. He shook his head. "I wish Puss could catch food for me too."
