My cat and me

One night, I was awakened by the sound of distant thunder. As I opened my eyes, I saw a witch staring at me. She came towards me and poured some liquid into my mouth. Then she whispered,”I know that you treat your cat poorly. Now I am going to give you a lesson on how to treat your cat kindly”. Then I fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I heard Mum yelling loudly,”Don’t play with your cat, come down and eat breakfast at once, Thomas.”When I wanted to go down for breakfast, I felt something wrong. Oh! I was changed into a cat by the magic of the witch.

In the past, I usually played with my cat, Jimmy. I threw it up and down, and swung it around. The most exciting thing was to throw it into the washing machine and watch it ‘swimming’. It was very scared.

When ‘Thomas’ came back from school, Mum threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine. When she walked away, ‘Thomas’ came towards me. I realized that he wanted to throw me into the washing machine! I turned around and ran immediately. He started to chase me. He got closer and closer. I thought,”Sorry Jimmy, I shouldn’t treat you badly, I know I have done something wrong…” Suddenly the time stopped…

Pop! The witch appeared again.”Now you know what you have done is wrong. You have learnt a lesson. I will give you a chance. I am watching you,”said the witch happily. Then I fell asleep again. When I woke up the next time, everything resumed to normal and I saw my cat, Jimmy , sleeping joyfully beside my feet. I will never hurt or play tricks on it any more.

Still I was wondering where the witch had gone. The next day when I sat down at my seat at school, a woman announced,”Good morning everyone. I am your new science teacher, Miss Candy.” I looked up and saw an old lady wearing a black jacket with a brush in  her hand……It was the ‘kind’ witch!!! She looked at me and winked.
