February 25

Today the fat black cat
up in the tree by the bus stop
dropped a nut on my head
thunk
and when I yelled at it
that fat black cat said
Murr-mee-urrr
in a 
nasty
spiteful
way.

I hate that cat.

This is the story of 
Jack
words
sounds
silence
teacher
and cat.

One of the bestest writer's ever! I read this because I wanted to know why they hated cats! You see I am a BIG lover of the feline. In fact, the cat hater turned into a cat lover. They were really a cat lover all along....they just didn't know it yet. Go on, give it a try, every word is precious. Not one word is wasted! Just love that book!!!!!!!!!
