Terts. THE CAT THAT CAUSED A WEDDING
Hob went to the wedding of his old friend Tom
Bailey and Miss Helen Jones last week. He enjoyed
it very much. It was a good wedding with lots to
eat and drink. and there were some bright, lively
people there.
S
Tom is a lucky fellow. His wife is a very pretty
girl. young and gay and interesting, and clever too.
Oh yes, he is a lucky man! And it all happened
because of a cat.
The story was as follows.
Helen tied next house to Tom, and the young man
was soon head over heels in love with the girl. He
used to look at her over the garden wall: he talked
to her one day for a short time; he walked to the
station with her once or twice... And one evening.
one great evening ir: his life, he went to a Christmas
party and danced with her.
But Tom was not much of a talker, and when he
was with Helen. he seemed to have nothing to say.
He wanted to say such a lot. but the words just dried
up th the throat and he could never say anything.
Then one day he walked out into the garden and
saw Helen on the other side of the wall looking very
d unhappy and worried. Tom asked her. What's the
s matter?
Helen pointed to the tree, and Tom looked up. He
1.) saw Helen's cat high up on the tree. It couldn't get
down and was looking as unhappy as Helen was.
Tom went over the garden wall and climbed up the
a tree and carried the cat down safely. Helen was so
pleased to get her rat again that she put her arms
round Tom's neck and gave him a kiss.
That pleased Tam very much. That was certainly
what he liked. He wanted the cat to climb up the tree
every day. So that night he waited until it was dark
and then he climbed the tree. He carried a hammer
and nails, and a fish in his hand. He knew that cats
n Iked fish, so he nailed it to the tree. If the cat went
up the next day, he hoped to get some mong cheers.
