20, THE BLOODY CAT
I hear the rain thundering down. What a pity I was heading to town. I put on my boots, coat and hat. Then I tripped over the bloody cat.
Poor cat it was not his fault. It was me who took a flying jolt.
As I said, it was not the cats fault I stumbled and went flying over a chair. I scattered flowers everywhere.
I decided to stay at home and clean up the mess. What's the point of all the stress? I can go to town another day. After all I only had bills to pay. They can wait another day.
The cat took off out the door. He'll be back i'm sure for food by 4.00 Now I think I could relax. It's time to have some healthy snacks.
