Cat Show II
EVA: So, what did you bring back from the CAT Show? Did you find lots of toys and fun stuff for us?
R: Well, I saw lots and lots of cats there. I thought I’d bring a few home…
EVA: Oh. CATS. That’s not very original, you know. How many did you bring with you?
R: Just a dozen or two.
EVA: But…that’s almost a gazillion! What are we going to do with that many CATS? Geesh, it’s a good thing you didn’t go to a dog show-that would have been a complete disaster! So where are all of these CATS. They’d better not be invisible like Pete-it’s bad enough living with just him. He’s been driving us crazy all summer, and we…
R: Okay, calm down Eva. I didn’t bring any cats home. But I did get a little treat for each of you on the off-chance that you were good while I was gone all weekend. Now…where’s the bag I just set down on my desk?
EVA: I’m sure I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about…I haven’t seen a single bag with CATnip toys in it or anything like that anywhere at all anyplace around here on your desk–Ever!
R: Wait a minute-that looks like it in the corner. But it’s shredded to bits! There’s nothing in it! Where are all the nice kitty toys I bought?
EVA: It’s empty?! Can you believe that?! You just can’t trust people. I’d go back to the show and tell them they forgot to put our toys in the bag. Hey, when you go, see if they have more pink ones…
R: Evaaaaaaa!

Ha, boy are you right! I can most certainly confirm that Pete got into our bag of new toys. But at least we got to share. It turns out, there was one special little toy for each of us-and it isn’t even Christmas. How neat is that?! We are so lucky!
~EVA!
Eva:
Are all of the new toys under the refrigerator yet? If so, I think you should hint to R. that you will all need new toys for Christmas, or maybe Thanksgiving — or Halloween. Especially with that Pesky Pete around!
Eva, I bet that Pete tore open your bag of new toys. I think you need to send R. back to get some more!
