Blackie is fishing now. He is not looking at me. I walk into the water and dive. Now I am under the water. I swim to Blackie under the water. Now I can see his legs. I open my mouth and bite him.

Blackie runs out of the water.

"There is a monster in the lake!" he says to Pinky.

"A monster?!" cries Pinky.

"Yes, it has got red ears and very sharp teeth!"

Pinky looks at Blackie. She knows that monster but she says:

"Don't go into the water again! I know that monster. It is in one of my books. It is a terrible monster!"

"OK," says Blackie. He is afraid. He looks at Pinky and says:

"And where is Reddy?"

"Oh no!" cries Pinky. "He is in the water!"

"Oh no!" cries Blackie. "The monster can bite him!"

They look at the lake. I am swimming in the lake.

"Reddy, come out!" cry Pinky and Blackie. "There is a terrible monster in the water!" says Blackie.

"Is it big?" I ask.

"It is long and it has got red ears and very sharp teeth!"

"But I am not afraid of monsters. I have got sharp teeth, too," I say. "I am not going out. The water is warm now. Don't wait for me. Have breakfast."

She looks at Blackie.

"What about a monster with a black tail?" she says.

VIII. A Visitor

It is evening. We are in the house. We are on the sofa. It is very late, but we don't want to go to bed.

There is a big vase in our room. It is empty.

Suddenly we hear a noise in the vase. We jump down and run to the vase. Blackie climbs up the vase and looks in.

"What is there?" we ask.

"I can't see," says Blackie. "It is too dark in the vase."

Then we hear the noise again.

"There is a small animal in the vase!" says Pinky. "Let's help it!"

"How can we help it?" we ask.

"Take the umbrella and put it in the vase. Then the animal can climb up the umbrella and get out," says Pinky.

I take the umbrella and put it in the vase. We listen and look. Suddenly we see the small animal. It is climbing up the umbrella. It is… Oh, it is a mouse!

"Oh, help!" cries Pinky. Pinky is a kitten, but she is afraid of mice. She jumps upon a shelf and hides behind the books.

Now the mouse can see us. It looks at us and cries, "Oh, help!" and climbs down the umbrella back into the vase.

"There is a mouse in the vase!" cries Blackie. "It is big and fat and I am hungry!"

"Oh no!" cries Pinky on the shelf. "Don't eat it! Please, don't eat it!"

But Blackie doesn't listen to Pinky. He puts his paw into the vase. He wants to catch the mouse but he can't. Then Blackie says. "I can climb into the vase and catch the mouse."

Blackie climbs into the vase. We can only see his tail now.

"It is too dark here!" cries Blackie. "I can't see the mouse!" He is very angry.

Suddenly we can see the mouse. It climbs up Blackie's tail and out of the vase.

"Blackie!" I say. "The mouse is not in the vase!"

"Where is it?" cries Blackie.

The mouse climbs down the vase and runs into a hole in the floor.

"It is under the floor," says Pinky. "Blackie, climb out!"

"But I can't!" cries Blackie. "Help me!"

I look at Pinky, and she looks at me.

"Then jump out!" we say.

"I can't jump here!" says Blackie.

"What can we do?" I ask Pinky.

"Take the umbrella and put it in the vase," says Pinky. "Then this hungry animal can climb out."

I put the umbrella in the vase. Soon we can see Blackie's head, then his body and his tail.

"Thank you," he says.

"The mouse is in that small hole in the floor," says Pinky. "You can climb in and catch it."

Blackie looks at the small hole.

"No," he says. "The mouse is very small and thin, and I am not very hungry."

"Then let's go to bed. It is very late," says Pinky.
