A man had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then

was afraid to come down. He  41  warm milk. It would not come down.

The tree was not  42  enough to climb， so the man decided that if

he tied a rope to his  43  and pulled it until the tree bent down，he could

then  44  and get the kitten.

That’s what he did， all the while checking his progress in the car. 

He then thought if he went just a little bit  45  ，the tree would be bent

low enough for him to reach the kitten.But as he moved the car a little

further forward，the rope broke.

The tree went" boing! "and the kitten was nowhere to be found.

The man felt  46  . He asked people he met if they’d  47  a little

kitten. No.Nobody had.

   ]A few  48  later he met a neighbor at the store. He happened to look into her shopping basket and was  49  to see cat food.

This woman was a cat  50  and everyone knew it， so he asked her， "  51  are you buying cat food？" She replied， "You won’t believe this，"and then told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat，  52  she kept refusing. Then a few days before， the child had begged again，so the Mom finally  53  her little girl，"Well， I’ll let you keep a cat if it falls from the  54  ."

She told the man，"I watched my child go out in the yard，and look straight into the sky. And really，  55  won’t believe this， but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying through the air， and landed right in front of her."
