The Naughty Cat (Essay #2)

  One fine Tuesday afternoon, Mrs Pilah was at home alone with the family's cat, White. White was playing around with his ball of yarn in the playroom. Mrs Pilah was preparing a special lunch for her son, Jamie, as it was his birthday on that day. She was removing the scales of the fish then started frying it. Fried fish was his favorite. After frying the fish and laying the dish on the table, the doorbell rang.

  A postman was outside with a parcel. "Ah, yes, I was expecting this!" Mrs Pilah exclaimed in glee. It was Jamie's birthday present that Mrs Pilah had ordered online. She signed the receipt and examined the gift to see that it was the right one.


  Meanwhile, White was still playing around when he could suddenly smell a whiff of fried fish. "Yum!" he thought. White followed the smell and found a perfectly cooked piece of fried fish on the dining table. He pounced on the chair and on the table then took the fish and went away.

  When Mrs Pilah went back into the house, she was feeling very ecstatic. She went back to the dining room to continue her preparation but she could not smell the fish! When she got to the table, she found the fish gone. She was suspicious of mischievous White.

She quickly rushed to where White's food bowl was and found White munching on the fish. He was caught red-handed. Mrs Pilah was horrified and scolded the cat. He looked scared and ran away as fast as lightning. By that time, Jamie's big rickety yellow bus pulled up in front of the front gate and as Jamie got off, his friends exclaimed a big 'Happy Birthday Jamie!' and with that, Jamie was home and little did he know his mother had no food for him.
