Once upon a time there were two 1. cats (cat). One was named Mitty and

the other was Kitty. They loved to chase 2. mice (mouse). Once when

they were chasing some mice, two big and fierce 3. dogs .(dog) pounced on

them. Mitty and Kitty were frightened. They realized that their 4. lives

(life) were in danger. Quickly they turned and ran in the opposite

direction. Luckily, there were a few 5. women (man) working nearby. They

took some 6. Stones (stone) and threw at the dogs. Thus Mitty and Kitty

were safe at last, but not for long. As they were hurrying away from the

dogs, they were almost crushed under the 7. wheels (wheel) of a school

bus. The 8.children (child) on the bus screamed as they saw the cats

about to be killed. Luckily the bus driver stopped the bus right in time for

the cats to escape. Two of the 9. boys (boy) on the bus jumped out to

see if the cats had escaped. They saw Mitty and Kitty running for their
lives at top speed! The 10. Kids (kid) were relieved that the cats were

safe. They got back onto the bus.
