HOME OF MCSTICK

But sometimes, Mr. Mcstick gets lonely. He is used to seeing his sister now. Sometimes he wishes he had someone to be with him all the time.

One day, when Mr. McStick was walking out in his country woods, he heard something. Something he had never heard before.

He decided to ignore it. It was probably nothing.

But then, he heard the noise again when he walked back. He heard it over and over. It sounded like something was in trouble.

Hello?

Mr. Mcstick frantically searched the forest. He looked in the bushes, the tall grass, and even under rocks!

He just couldn't find the noise!

Then, Mr. McStick started to listen closer. This wasn't just any noise. What did it sound like?

MEOW!
