When Irene came to the kitchen, the big fish mother had bought for dinner was falling from the table! And Puff and Fluff were having the worst fight.
“You are bad kitties!” she cried, and she whipped them! Then she put them out of the house and shut the door, although her heart hurt frightfully. “I must train them!” she said.
Fluff looked at Puff. Puff looked at Fluff. “Meow! Meow!” Fluff said, “We have been turned from our home.” “Meow! Meow!” answered Puff, “we must go back to the farm!”
When Irene looked for them at dinner-time they were gone! She looked everywhere! But the twins were not to be found. She called them until her throat ached. “Here Puff! Here Fluff!” But no kitties came running.
Then she was very sad. “Dear! Dear!” she said, “They have run away because I punished them!”
Then Daddy came home, “Oh, Daddy!” Irene cried, “my TWINS have RUN AWAY! We must go and find them!” So right after dinner Daddy got out the big car. Soon they were way, way out in the country. The sun was going down behind the hills. “Oh!” sobbed Irene, “I am afraid they are lost.”
