The cat wants to have a new friend. She comes to a dog and says, "Do you want to be my friend?"
"Of course," says the dog.
"Then sing me a song, please."
"Bow-wow-wow," sings the dog.
"Thank you for the song," says the cat.
"You're welcome," says the dog.
"But I don't like your song. You can't be my friend. Goodbye."
Then the cat sees a hen and asks her to sing a song.
The hen sings, "Cluck, cluck, cluck."
"Oh, your song isn't nice. You can't be my friend," says the cat. "Goodbye."
Then the cat sees a little gray mouse. "Can you sing?" asks the cat.
"I think I can," says the mouse.
"Then sing a song for me," says the cat.
"With great pleasure," says the mouse, and begins to sing, "Pe-pee-pee."
"Oh, this is a very nice song. I like it very much. Do you want to be my friend?" says the cat.
"No, I don't," says the mouse. "You can eat me!"
