Saving the Cat

May was on her way home from school.  As she was walking past the garden, she suddenly heard a pitiful mewing sound coming from behind a huge tree. May was curious so she looked behind the tree. She saw two boys throwing stones at a cat.  The cat dashed across the road to avoid being hit by stones.

May shouted "Stop!" The boys stopped throwing the stones and let it go.  May quickly ran over to rescue the cat.

May scolded them "You should not be cruel to the animals." The boys felt guilty as they felt ashamed of themselves.  They said "Sorry" and walked away.

May quickly went over and picked up the frightened cat when they were gone.  Luckily, the cat was not injured.  She stroked it gently and brought it home to keep as a pet.
