Carsbas was in town, buying flour and salt. The man waited as Carabas counted out coins. A basket of dried fish sat on the table. Carabas saw it and thought of Puss.
"How much for the dried fish," he asked. The man told him the price.
"That's too much money."Carabas though."Oh, well."
He paid for the flour and salt and left.
Carabas was walking home. Suddenly, he stopped."Puss is a great cat," Carabas thought." I want to do something nice for him ."
Carabas ran back to the store. He bought a dry fish.
Carabas had a long walk home. One of his shoes was ripped, but Carabas just smiled. He couldn't wait to give Puss the treat!
Later Puss ate his dried fish. The cat purred happily."I'm glad you like it."Carabas said.
After dinner, Carabas counted his coins again. Each day the pile grew smaller.
"What will I do?" he said. "How will I eat? "Puss jumped into his master's lap. Carabas sighed."You're lucky, Puss. You don't have problems."
"That's not true, master," Puss said Suddenly." your problems are my problems." Carabas gasped." Y-you talked!"
