ReplyDeleteThe sound of the doorbell shook her away from her thoughts. "I'll get it!" she responded. Excited to see the type of animal she would take care of, Hilda ran towards the front door and opened it. She was shocked to see a pet cat that she always wanted. Black, white cat and a small house-cat that was all she wanted in her life. She picked up the cat and raised it up into the air and said "I will name you Lily." The cat meowed softy agreeing with her. Hilda saw her parents there smiling and then Hilda ran to her parents and hugged them saying "I love you! " and her parents said "i love you too."
One morning while Hilda was reading her book and stroking her cat softly in her room, she heard a scream coming from downstairs and she quickly hurried down and saw her mom screaming "THERE'S A RAT HELP! THERE'S A RAT!" Hilda also saw her dad trying to catch the rat but was too fast. Suddenly her cat pounced onto the rat and bit it. The rat died and everybody cheered and said 'LILY IS A HERO!" then Lily got 5 fishes for her breakfast.
Every evening Hilda walked her cat at 6:45 pm but one day it rained heavily so Hilda couldn't walk her cat. That evening while everybody was sleeping Hilda's cat secretly walked out of Hilda's room. Then in the morning Hilda tried finding her cat and was very worried then she and her family made posters of the cat one of the passers by saw the poster and called Hilda's family. Hilda's family answered the phone and was happy to hear that the passer by has saw the cat. Hilda's family quickly hurried to where the passer by had last seen the cat.
