Text 3.THE CAT THAT CAUSED A WEDDING.
I went to the wedding of my old friend Tom Bailey and Miss Helen Jones last week. I enjoyed it very much. It was a good wedding with lots to eat and drink and there were some bright people there. Tom is a lucky fellow. His wife is a very pretty girl, young and gay and interesting, and clever too. Oh yes, he is a lucky man. And it all happened because of a cat. It sounds funny, but it is true. Helen lived in the next house to Tom, and Tom was soon head over heels in love with Helen. He used to look at her over the garden wall; he talked to her one day for a short time; he walked to the station with her once or twice; and one evening, one great evening in his life, he went to a Christmas party and danced with her. Then one day he walked out into the garden and saw Helen on the other side of the wall. She looked very unhappy and worried. Tom said, “What is the matter?” And she pointed to the big tree in her garden. Tom looked up there. He saw Helen’s cat high up in the tree. It couldn`t get down and looked as unhappy as Helen did. Tom went over the garden wall and climbed up the tree and carried the cat down safely. Helen was so pleased to get her cat again that she put her arms round Tom`s neck and gave him a kiss. This pleased Tom very much. He wanted the cat climbed the tree every day. So that night he waited until it was dark and then he climbed up the tree. He carried a hammer and nails and a fish in his hand. He knew that cats liked fish so he nailed the fish to the tree. The end of the story is: every day Tom saved the cat and got kissed it. Soon Helen married him.
