The Donkey and the Cat
Once there was a farmer.
He lived in a big house.
He had a donkey and a cat.
The donkey had to work on the farm.
He had to work every day.
At night, he slept in an old shed.
The cat lived in the house.
He played every day.
He had no work to do.
The farmer liked the cat.
He sat the cat on his lap.
He fed the cat.
At night, the cat slept in a soft bed.
One day, the donkey said, ”I will be a cat. Then I won’t have to work.’
The donkey went into the house.
He played like the cat.
But he knocked over the chairs.
He broke the glasses.
The donkey was very happy.
“I an your cat now,”
he said,” so I can sit with you.”
The donkey jumped on the farmer.
He wanted to sit on his lap.
The farmer was very angry.
He chased the donkey out of the house.
