Lucy Meets Sara

Lucy is a cat. She is orange. She lives in a house. Today, she walks near a fence.

Lucy sees a small hole in the fence. She looks in the hole. She says, "Ooh, what's this?"

"It is a garden!" she says. Lucy goes to the garden. The grass is green and soft. There are red flowers. There is a big apple tree.

A girl sits under the tree. She has short brown hair. She looks up. She sees something orange. It has white paws. She says, "What is this?"

"It is a cat!" she says. She smiles. "Hello, cat. I am Sara."

"Hello, Sara. I am Lucy," the cat says. "Your garden is nice."

"Thank you!" Sara says. "Come and see my apple tree."

They walk to the tree. The apples are red. Lucy counts them. "One, two, three apples," she says.

Something moves near the flowers. It is small. It is orange and black. It flies up and down. Lucy says, "Ooh, what's this?"

"It is a butterfly!" Sara says. "I love butterflies."

The butterfly sits on Lucy's nose. Lucy does not move. Sara laughs. Then the butterfly flies away. "Goodbye, butterfly!" Sara says.

Lucy looks at the grass. She sees something red. It has black dots. It walks on a leaf. Sara looks too. She says, "What is this?"

"It is a ladybug!" Lucy says. "It is very small."

Sara smiles. "You know a lot, Lucy."

"Sara! Lunch time!" Mom calls from the house.

Mom comes outside. She sees Lucy. "Hello, little cat," she says. "Are you hungry?" She puts a small bowl on the grass.

Lucy looks at the bowl. She says, "Ooh, what's this?"

"It is milk," Mom says. Lucy drinks it slowly. "Yummy!" she says.

Sara sits next to Lucy. "Come back tomorrow," she says. "We can play."

"Yes!" Lucy says. "I like my new friend."

Lucy goes back to her house. She is happy.

See you next time, Lucy and Sara!
