Jan and Ted had a rat in the yard. “Get rid of it!” said Jan. “The cat will kill the rat,” said Ted, and he let the cat get the big rat. But the cat did not kill the rat. It bit the rat and hit the cat, but then it quit. “The cat will not kill the rat,” said Ted. “I bet the cat will rest. We will get a new cat.” Jan got sick, so she took a lot of pills. “I am not well,” she said, and she went to bed. Ted had the cat, so he let her pet the cat. “Thank you,” she said. Jan was sick, but now she can get well, with the cat’s help. Mom got a job at a pet shop. The shop had pups, cats, birds, frogs, and fish. A lot of kids like to run to the shop after class and look at the pets. One day, Jan and Ted went with them. “Look!” said Ted. “Look at that pup. It is so cute.” They went home to ask mom for the pup. “Will you help us get a pup?” said Ted. “The cat will not like the pup,” said mom. “But the pup is so cute and nice,” said Jan. “Well,” said mom, “I have a new job, new job, so I can help you get the pup.” Jan and Ted felt so glad. On the next Monday, mom went to the pet shop. She paid for the pup and she came home with a new pup. Jan and Ted felt glad when the pup ran in the house.
