THE KITCHEN CAT.
I wish I had soma rabbits in a little rabbit-hutch, They have such funny habits, and I love them very much. I wish 'I had a squirrel, or some -white mice or a rat, But the only pet that I can have is just the kitchen cat.
I wish I had some tadpoles to see them grow to frogs, I wish I had some puppies of any kind of dogs. I wish I had a guinea-pig, or anything like that, But the only pet that I can have is just the kitchen cat.
I wish I had a pony or a donkey of my own; I'd like to keep a baby lamb till it was fully grown. Mum says it's no use 'cause we live in a flat, And the only pet that I can have is the kitchen cat.
—By Albert Jellyman, Beach Road, Papakura, (age 12).
