Becky caught a mouse

     Once upon a time, there was a man named Ken. He had a small cat called Becky. Although Becky was tiny and small, it was a good cat. It helped Ken a lot and it was gentle to Ken.
     One day, a mouse suddenly came out of nowhere. Ken was scared and could not move. Becky saw the mouse. She wanted to catch the mouse but it ran too fast. Becky could not catch up with it.
     Without giving up, Becky had an idea. She took out a piece of cheese. She tied the cheese up with a piece of string. The mouse smelled the cheese and was attracted. It came close to the cheese. At that moment, Becky pulled the string. The mouse chased after the cheese. Becky pulled the string again. She pulled and pulled the string until the mouse was so close to her. In the end, Becky caught the mouse at the right time. Becky was happy. Ken was even happier.
