|Once I had a little black and white kitten. She was very cunning and
playful, but not very wise.
On one side of our house was a high grape trellis. One morning kitty
went out and began to climb this trellis. She put one little paw before
the other, and went bravely up, up, up, till she reached the top. Then
she looked down to the ground and mewed piteously. I suppose when she
looked down and saw very far off the ground was, she was frightened and
dizzy.
When I heard her cry, I ran out to see what was the matter. Their stood
kitty on the very top of the trellis, clinging to the slats with her
little paws. The fur stood up all over her back and tail, she was so
frightened. "Mew I mew!" she cried.
