[Illustration: 9011]
I tried to think of some way to help her. I got a basket and tied the
handle to a long pole. Then I took hold of the pole and held the basket
up as high as I could reach. Then I called, "Kitty, Kitty," and with a
spring, down she came into the basket.
I took her down and into the house. She seemed so glad to be safely
on the ground once more that I thought she would never do that foolish
thing again.
But every morning this stupid little kitten would climb the trellis just
the same, and have to be taken down in the basket. I suppose she thought
it fun to climb up, and rather enjoyed the ride down in the basket.
