The Man Who Didn`t Like Cats
Written by Larisa Sharapova, 8a

This is a man who lives alone in a big house in a small town. His name is James. He always cooked his own dinner, washed his dishes, cleaned the house…

The man didn’t have even a single animal, he didn’t like dogs or hamsters and especially he didn’t like cats. I don’t know why but this man for some reason didn’t like cats at all. One night he came home very tired after work and quickly made dinner. He wanted to eat on the couch. He ate very untidily, throughout the couch there were crumbs and slices of food. After he ate, the sofa wasn’t cleaned. And he decided to leave the dishes till the next night. The next day came Sunday. The man had scheduled cleaning: when he had to wash dishes, wash clothes, clean sofa… but… The man also didn’t like to clean, and every time, he literally forced himself to wash dishes, wash clothes, clean the couch… This time James decided to postpone cleaning till the following Sunday. Within a month, James never cleaned the house. He had a month of unwashed dished, dirty clothes, and all his beautiful sofa turned into a dump. One day a month later James comes home very tired, he quickly thinks that it’s a good idea to cook something, to eat and lie down to rest. But suddenly he hears a rustle. At first he thought what he heard. He thought he was just very tired, so could hear anything. But in fact there was a rustle. Then he continued to prepare his own dinner, but the rustle repeated. But this time the rustle was louder and stronger, and something was scratched. James thought to himself whether it was a mouse.

”Oh, my God”, he said to himself, “I don`t like them so much, they`re so nasty and scary” But James wasn’t yet finished, he was sure it was a mouse. Therefore, it was decided to check and make a mousetrap. The next night he set a mousetrap with cheese. The next morning he decided to check out, there wasn’t any mouse there wasn’t cheese either. James didn’t understand how it could get out well, and maybe this wasn’t the thought that James thought.

The next day he again put a mousetrap with cheese opposite the camera to see who was there. It was a long-awaited morning for James that he watched the recording, and there was a mouse and even not one. How angry he was! James thought well, “Where did these mouse come from?” And, most likely, it was because he didn`t clean for the month. And on the same day, James decided to clean the house. But mice didn’t disappear. There were more and more mice. They were so nasty, disgusting, brrrr... Every day more and more until the mice conquered the house and kicked James out into the street.

He was sitting on a bench almost crying when suddenly a cat came up to him. I don`t know why, but James didn`t drive him away, but instead he picked it up and looked with sad eyes. And the cat, as if with his own eyes asked, “What happened? Why are you sad? What happened to you?” The man told him his story. The cat listened attentively to him and decided to act. He called his friends and began to act. After two days they drove away these evil, bad mice. James prepared a meal for two washed the dishes, washed the clothes, cleaned the sofa, cleaned the house, and the cat guarded the house from spiteful nasty mice.

Moral: don`t be lazy to wash the dishes, clean the house, or you may have mice, cockroaches, or someone else; love animals they are your friends, then you will always have some kind of support, calm or help in a difficult moment.
