Story:

Cami Cat and the Cuckoo Bird

Cora comes with a new fat cat named Camit Cat. She looks at Cami Cat cutely
curled up in the car. Cora puts the cat down on a couch in one corner of the sala and
says, “This couch is your bed for your catnaps. Ok, stay here as I get your food.”

Cora comes back with a cupful of milk and a plate of macaroni with corn,
cookies, and cake. “Here, enjoy your meal”. Then, Cora tells Cami Cat, “Take care and
be good, while I am out.”

And Cami Cat falls asleep. “Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!”. “What’s that?” she asks
and starts looking around to see where the sound is coming from. “Ah, it’s a bird from
that big clock up there. It will make a good meal for me.”

Quietly, Cami Cat creeps across the carpet and climbs up the curtains. She tries
to catch the cuckoo bird, but she cannot catch it. Cuckoo Bird moves in and out of the
big clock. It moves in. it moves out…in and out.

Finally, Cami Cat caches Cuckoo Bird. “I got you, Cuckoo Bird!” But Cuckoo
Bird is just a wooden bird. Cami Cat says. “This bird is not cat food at all.”
