And his cat ran on ahead, with her bushy tail sticking straight up in the air.
And that's all of this story.

THE DINNER-TIME AND JONAH STORY
Once upon a time there was a little boy and he was almost five years old. And there weren't any other children near for him to play with, so he used to play happily all by himself.
He had his cat and his cart and his shovel and hoe, and he always wore his overalls when he was playing.
They were building a house in the field next to that little boy's house, and he used to go there almost every day to watch the men and to help.
One day it was late when he went, because his mother had taken him with her down to the Square to do an errand, and when he came back he had to change his clothes and put on his overalls. His mother wouldn't let him wear his overalls down to the Square.
