THE MOST UNSUCESSFUL PET RESCUE
Mrs. Sarah Greenfield was worried because she hadn’t seen her pet cat, Percy, for nearly two
days. She told her neighbor, Frank Armstrong about it. Frank said heknew where Percy was
and took her to a tall tree in the street. He pointed up at a branch near the top of the tree where
Percy was sitting. Mrs. Greenfield called out to her cat but it did not move.Then she asked
Frank Armstrong what she should do. He suggested that she should telephone the fire brigade
and ask them to help.
Mrs. Greenfield went back to her house and phoned the local firestation. She told them about
the cat and asked them to come and save the cat. Twenty minutes later, a big red fire engine
parked outside Mrs. Greenfield’s house. Mrs. Greenfield showed the fireofficer where Percy
was sitting in the tree. The fire officer asked Mrs. Greenfield what the cat liked eating. She
told him that Percy’s favorite food was sardines. The fire officer said it would bedifficult to
catch the cat because it would be very frightened and asked her if she had got any sardines.
Mrs Greenfield opened a tin of sardines and gave it to the fire officer. The fire officerextended the tall ladders on the fire engine and climbed up to the cat. He held out the open tin
of sardines and called to the cat. Percy was very hungry and he could smell the sardines. Hescrambled towards the fire officer who caught him easily. From the top of the ladder, the fire
officer called to Mrs Greenfield and told her he had caught the cat.
Mrs. Greenfield was very happy andthanked the fire officer as he was climbing down the
ladder. After the fire officer had handed the cat to Mrs. Greenfield, she put it on the ground
with the tin of sardines. Mrs. Greenfieldthanked the fire officer again and invited him to have
a cup of tea and a slice of cake at her house. The fire officer accepted the invitation and they
walked to her house.
