Story for reproduction:
PUSSY
My name is Puss. You know me very well.
Once I was a little kitten, and you played with me. I am grown up now, but I like to play as well as ever. Get a ball, and you will see what I can do.
I like to sleep by the fire, too. I like to drink milk too, when I am hungry. When you have fed me, I will purr.
Do you see how clean I keep my face and hands? Do you keep your face and hands as clean as I keep mine?
Please give me a warm bed at night. I do not like to be turned out in the cold.
I have a warm coat of fur, which I always wear. I am better off than some boys and girls.
