Every day mom and I wake up early for school. I get dressed, and mom packs my lunch. 

When I'm ready for the school day, we always walk together and it always goes exactly the same. 

But today was different. When walking through the park, we hear a rustling in the bushes.

When we get closer, we discover.... a cat!

Please mom, can we please keep him!

I've always wanted a pet, so I begged and begged mom to take him home with us. 

Only if you promise to take care of him, pets can be a lot of work!

I promised I'd always take care of him. I feel so lucky!

I can't wait to come home and see my new friend.
