The children stood in a row
at the pet store.
They looked at the kittens.
Ben looked, too.
Ben wanted a kitten.
Which kitten would Ben like most?
Ben picked a kitten with straight,
black fur.
He called his kitten Sooty.
Ben gave Sooty food.
He played games with her.
Sooty slept in her basket at night.
She slept near Ben.
Ben woke up one morning.
Sooty wasn’t there!
Ben called Sooty, but she didn’t
come.
Mom helped Ben look for Sooty.
Dad helped Ben look, too.
“Sooty is always in her basket!”
said Ben.
“She is in the basket,” Mom said.
“She’s in this basket.”
Sooty was sleeping on top of
some sweaters.
“Sooty!” cried Ben.
“There you are!”
Ben rubbed Sooty’s floppy ears.
“Why didn’t you come?”
Ben asked.
“I called and called.”
Ben put an old sweater in
Sooty’s basket that night.
Sooty was still there the next
morning.
She was still sleeping.
