Mom "Can I have a cat?" Jessie blurted out at the breakfast table as he poured milk and addd two heaping tablespoons of sugar on his Rice Krispies. Staring in his plate but not focusing on aiming accurately he missed scattering sugar in all directions.
"Clean the sugar up before I get ants crawling all over." And no to the cat. I don't have the time to clean up after a cat or for that mater you. Now clean up the sugar, and hurry up or you'll be late for school."
"l'm helping Mrs. Hendricks after school with Max," Jessie said while carefully placing his chair under the table. He wanted to sow his mom he was responsible enough to have his own cat. He quietly closed the door behind himself as he left for school
Across the street Mrs. Hendrix was pushing a garbage can on wheels to the curb. Max her black and white young tuxedo cat was dashing behind in his yard like a flash of of lightening. The cat was going berserk chasing leaves attacking sticks and clawing himself halfway up th treee then shimmering down again for another round of chasing bugs. Jessie watched with fascination and when the cat saw him the cat came up to him to give him a head butt on his legs.
.
Mrs Hendricks can I give you a hand with the cans? Jessie asked.
That would be very nice. Thank you jessie. What Time will you be over to help tonight? Max has broken through the screen again and i need help securing it with nails.
"About four," jessie replied as he watched max disappear behind the house
..
I better round up max before he decides to hide and i won't be able to find him. I don't allow him outside without someone out with him. Have a nice day in school jessie. See you later.
