“The Kitchen Counter Caper” (book 2) Excerpt
“… Mrs. Harrington came down, and to Pit-Pat’s dismay, she did not take out the frying pan!
“Pit-Pat,” she said (for you know, humans have a ridiculous habit of talking to their pets, even though the pets cannot understand them; at least, they think their pets cannot understand them), “I do believe we are out of bacon! I think I’ll just drive over to the grocery store and get some.”
Pit-Pat just sat and looked at her expectantly.
“Well, I’ll go wake up Alice and John,” said Mrs. Harrington, and she left the kitchen.
“Well!” thought Pit-Pat (for he thought that she was just saying, “Wouldn’t you like some bacon, you sweet kitty?”), “I-i-ithn’t thith nithe! She j-j-justht walkth out and leaveth me th-th-thitting here waiting for my bacon. Thith is m-m-motht thtrange; she uthually getth up and cookth the bacon right away. I mutht go t-t-tell Purrkinth.”
So he ran to the family room where Purrkins was sleeping on the couch.
“Purrkinth!” Pit-Pat said, “Wake up!”
No answer.
“Well,” Pit-Pat thought (for he was getting an inspiration to be bold), “If he won’t wake up, I’ll pounth on him!”
He backed up to the wall, and then ran full blast toward the couch. He let out a piercing “Mreeeeooow!” as he landed on Purrkins. (Of course, being a very small cat, he did not hurt Purrkins in the least).
“Pit-Paht!” Purrkins sputtered, “What was thaht for?”
“Oh, Purrkinth,” said Pit-Pat, suddenly remembering his errand, “Th-th-the Mithtreth went to the kitchen, and she d-didn’t even open the big cold larder t-to get the bacon! I that there and I-I thought she thaid, ‘Wouldn’t you like thome b-bacon, you thweet kitty?’ And then, she jutht walked out of the kitchen…” …”
