The Three Kittens

This story is about three curious Kittens, who find themselves in a bit of trouble every week…

Deep in the forest, at the foot of a large green hill, there lives a small family of cats. Daddy cat’s a large chubby ginger cat, Mummy cat’s fur is mostly white with a few chesnut-brown stripes on her back, they live in a small, two story, mahogany (wooden) house with their three mischievous kittens: Meatball, Tinyball, and Furball. 

It is 7:30am on a lovely summer morning. Rays of sunlight seep through miniature cracks in the worn blinds indicating it is morning.The sound of an alarm ringing shakes through the room.The three kittens are still fast asleep in bed. Furball rolls around in bed, mumbling in her dreams “mmmm so yummy, more please”. Her tail swings across the bed, thumping around until finally landing on Meatball’s nose. “Ah-choo!” Meatball sneezes, and sits up trying to open her sleepy eyes. Everything is peaceful until…“KITTENS! Get up or you will be late for school!” Mummy cat shouts from the kitchen, the kittens then hear Daddy cat’s heavy footsteps coming upstairs. “Quick! Get up before daddy comes to tickle our bellies!” says Meatball, shaking Tinyball and Furball awake. The three kittens spring out of the bed just in time before Daddy cat opens the door, “Get up kittens! Or I will tickle your fluffy little bellies!”

The kittens get dressed, rubbing their sleepy eyes with the back of their paws, and start making their way downstairs in a line. Mummy cat has already put their breakfast on the dining table. A repulsive smell fills the air, immediately forcing the kittens to fall back.Tinyball sniffs the air, “Oh no! Mummy’s made pumpkin soup for breakfast again!!! I saw her bring back a full pack of them from the super market last night, they must have been on discounts again,” she moaned. None of the kittens are particularly fond of pumpkin in this house, but that did not stop Mummy cat from picking up loads of them from the sale pile. The kittens sit down at the table, reluctantly pick up their spoons, and start to drink their not so delicious pumpkin soup. 

After breakfast, the kittens put on their sun hats, pick up their school bags and walk out of the door. Daddy cat has already taken out the little family tricycle and is waiting for them outside of the door. The three kittens jump on to the back of the tricycle, bid goodbye to mummy, and start towards the school. Unfortunately for Daddy cat, the school is at the top of the hill, it is hard work for daddy to peddle up hill every morning with three chubby kittens loaded at the back, Mummy cat secretly thinks it’s a great idea as this saves the trip to the gym for Daddy cat. 

Finally, after some pretty hard exercise peddling uphill by daddy cat, they finally arrive at the gate. Madam Gazille is greeting all the students at the school gate. The kittens jump off the tricycle, “Bye Daddy cat!” and they run into the classroom. 

There, the kittens start another lovely normal day.
