We look at Ted and cry: "But we are here! You are looking at us!"

"No, you are not Pinky's brothers. Blackie hasn't got a white spot on his nose, and Reddy hasn't got yellow ears," says Ted. "OK, I can come in the evening. Are your brothers at home in the evening?"

Pinky looks at us. "I don't know," she says.

Ted is sad. He goes away.

We look at Pinky and say: "What can we do?"

"Go to the garden and jump into a magic puddle," she says.

XI. An Escape

Mummy is at Mrs Paw's house today. Ted is ill. And we are playing in the garden. Suddenly we see a woman. She is coming to us.

She comes up and looks at us. She looks at Blackie and me, then she looks at Pinky.

Suddenly she takes Pinky in her arms. She goes out of our garden with Pinky.

"Help!" cries Pinky.

"Bite her!" cries Blackie.

But Pinky can't bite. She is very kind.

The woman walks and walks and we run after her.

She comes to a house, opens the door and goes in. Then she closes the door.

Blackie and I are sitting at the door now. We are sad and afraid.

Suddenly I see an open window. I jump into the window. Then Blackie jumps into the window, too. Now we are in a very big room. But where is Pinky?

We hear a noise at the door and we hide under the sofa.

The woman comes in. She is holding Pinky in her hands. She goes to the window and closes it.

"Oh no," Blackie and I say. We are looking at her from under the sofa.

The woman puts Pinky on the sofa and says: "This is your home, little kitten. You are my little Pussy. Pussy, you are my pet now. You can sleep on the sofa. You can walk on the floor, but don't jump on the table, cupboard or bookcases. I don't like it."

The woman goes out and closes the door. We climb out.

'"Pinky," we say, "we are here."

"Oh," she cries, "thank you. I am afraid. I don't want a new home. What can I do?"

"We can jump on the cupboard, bookcases, shelves and table."

"Why?" asks Pinky.

"Look!" I say. I jump onto the bookcase. There is a big beautiful vase there. I push the vase and it is on the floor. Then I jump onto the shelf and all the books are on the floor. Blackie jumps onto the cupboard. Now there are a lot of cups, plates and glasses on the floor.

Pinky is looking at us.

"What are you doing?" she cries.

Now we can hear a noise at the door. The woman is coming back.

"Where is my little Pussy?" she says behind the door. She opens the door and looks around.

"Oh!" she cries and sits down on the floor.

She is sitting and looking at the broken vase, cups and plates.

Then she comes up to Pinky. She takes her with one hand, opens the window and throws Pinky out.

Blackie and I jump out of the window together.

"Run, Pinky!" we cry and we run away.

Now we are in our garden again.

"Thank you, brothers," says Pinky. She is very happy and we are happy, too.

XII. Helping Mummy

Забавные истории котенка Рэдди - _15.png

Today we are helping mum in the garden. We are planting flowers and vegetables. Mum is planting roses. Blackie is planting tomatoes. I am planting potatoes. And Pinky is planting carrots.

"Mum, when can we eat the vegetables?" we ask.

"When they grow big," she says.

Every day Pinky and I go to the garden and water our seeds. Blackie doesn't water his seeds every day. He is lazy.

Then we can see very small leaves. They are our vegetables. The leaves grow and grow. Now they are very big. But there aren't any carrots or potatoes. There is only a small tomato in the leaves.

"Mummy," cries Pinky, "why is it so? Reddy and I water our plants every day, but there aren't any carrots or potatoes. And Blackie waters his plants on Mondays and he has got a tomato."

"My dear," says mum, "come here and let's dig."

Pinky, mum and I go to our plants. We dig and dig. Hooray! Our carrots and potatoes are funny.

They hide in the ground. We dig them out. There are a lot of them.

"Now," says mum, "Pinky and Reddy can have a lot of carrots and potatoes for lunch."

"And me?" asks Blackie. He wants carrots and potatoes, too.

"You can have your green tomato," says mum.

We look at Blackie. He is crying. We are sad.

"Mum," we say. "Can we give him some carrots and potatoes? We have got a lot of them."

Mum looks at Blackie. He is still crying. Our mum is kind and she says: "OK, but don't eat his green tomato. You can eat it when it is red."

"Mummy," says Blackie, "I can water the tomatoes every day."

Now he works in the garden every day and there are a lot of tomatoes in the leaves. They are red, and we eat them together.
