cat named geraldine and seven kittens one kitten was striped like a tiny tiger one was round and soft and white as a snowball two were black as a midnight sky and three had black and white polka dots all over kim thought that having seven kittens was fun kim's mother and father did not agree there are too many cats in this house said kim's father one day you may keep geraldine and one kitten you will have to give the others away yes agreed kim's mother two pets are enough in one house kim chose the roundest and rolliest polka dot kitten for his own he put the others in his mother's laundry basket and set the basket in his yellow wagon away he went down the street with six kittens in his basket mrs mcginty who lived next door was sweeping her sidewalk what's in your basket kim she asked with interest kittens kim told her would you like one for a pet i am rather lonely said mrs mcginty and a kitten would keep me company i have two goldfish but goldfish aren't very good company a kitten would curl up in my lap and purr goldfish cannot do that mrs mcginty lifted up a snowball white kitten and stroked its silky fur then she said but what will i do with my goldfish a kitten will grow up to be a cat a cat will eat goldfish you can give the goldfish to me said kim brightly mrs mcginty hurried into the house and she came out carrying a round glass bowl inside the bowl two golden orange fish were swimming around and around they had shiny fins they had tails like little waving fans their mouths were like tiny round o's kim thanked mrs mcginty then he set the glass bowl in his wagon and away he went down the street with five kittens in his basket and two goldfish in a bowl kim pulled his wagon slowly because the water in the goldfish bowl went slosh splash he pulled his wagon quietly because he was coming to miss murphy's house miss murphy did not like noise she did not like rattly wagons or squeaky wheels or noisy children miss murphy sat on her porch quietly rocking hello miss murphy said kim politely i have some kittens to give away nice quiet ones he added did you say quiet kittens asked miss murphy with interest let me see them she peered into the basket the kittens were curled into soft balls they were making quiet purring sounds wait here a minute kim said miss murphy hurrying up the steps to the door she came out carrying a golden cage inside it sat a large green parrot awking and squawking noisily this is skipper she explained my brother who is a sea captain brought him to me from far across the sea skipper is a very noisy bird he chatters and he whistles and he sings the sailor's hornpipe i simply can't stand noisy pets would you trade one of your nice quiet kittens for a nice noisy parrot kim was delighted miss murphy chose a round polka dot kitten that was curled up quietly asleep kim took the awking squawking parrot and set the cage carefully in the wagon he thanked miss murphy then a way down the street he went with four kittens in his basket two goldfish in a bowl and one green parrot in a cage kim turned the corner and stopped in front of mr wiggins store mr wiggins was making bright pyramids of oranges and red apples on his fruit stand he looked a little bit cross what's the matter mr wiggins asked kim it's those pesky mice exclaimed mr wiggins they keep nibbling my fruits and cheeses what you need is a cat said kim i could give you a kitten it will grow up to be a cat and a cat will chase away the mice mr wiggins smiled i could use two kittens he said he picked up the two kittens as black as a midnight sky then he said come with me kim i have something to show you in the back of the store there was a box with four wiggly brown puppies inside would you like to have one kim asked mr wiggins sure thanks said kim with a wide grin he chose the puppy with the silkiest fur the floppiest ears and the droopiest tail he put the puppy in a small box set the box in his wagon and away he went down the street with two kittens in his basket two goldfish in a bowl one green parrot in a cage and a wiggly brown puppy in a box kim turned right at the next corner and stopped to watch mr green who was working on his chicken yard crap wrap wrap went mr green's hammer those are nice chickens you have said kim in a friendly voice mr green stopped hammering and looked around the hands are nice he said they give me fresh white eggs every day but i'm gonna have to get rid of that pesky rooster every morning very early he crows and wakes me up i think we'll put him in the soup pot don't do that cried kim give him to me then i'll give you a kitten mr green looked into the basket and smiled that's a fun idea he said my little girl has a birthday tomorrow i'll bet she'd love this polka dot kitten for a birthday present mr green chased a shiny black rooster around the chicken yard until he caught him he put the rooster into a small crate and set the crate in kim's wagon thanks mr green called kim as a way he went down the street with one kitten in his basket two goldfish in a bowl one green parrot in a cage a wiggly brown puppy in a box and a shiny black rooster in a crate as kim turned the next corner he thought i have just one kitten left to give away then he saw millicent mae and her mother in the yard [Applause] millicent was crying and looking very unhappy mrs may looked a little unhappy too what's wrong millicent kim asked mrs may's side oh millicent is crying because she wants a tiger for a pet yesterday we went to the circus millicent loved the tigers she says she won't stop crying until we buy her one kim had a bright idea i have a kitten that looks like a tiger maybe millicent would like it he lifted the last kitten out of the basket it was yellowish with black stripes it had a little tiger face and wide green eyes kim put the kitten in millicent's lap she stopped crying and smiled a big smile tiger said millicent happily as she stroked its fur mrs may was delighted why thank you kim would you like to have the little chameleon we got at the circus millicent doesn't want it kim peered into the glass jar there was a tiny green animal covered with scales it had a little pointed face and a long green tail i've never seen a chameleon before cried kim excitedly yes thank you i sure would like to have it carefully he set the glass jar in his wagon and away he went toward home with an empty basket two goldfish in a bowl one green parrot in a cage a wiggly brown puppy in a box a shiny black rooster in a crate and a tiny chameleon in a jar as he pulled his wagon into the yard kim shouted excitedly hey mom dad i found a home for every single kitten aren't you glad kim was able to give away all the kittens but i don't think his parents expected
