Once upon a time, there was a curious little cat named Missy. Missy lived in a small house with her best friend, a little boy named Tim. They loved to play and explore together.
One day, Missy and Tim found a big black rock in their yard. "What is this?" Tim asked Missy. "I don't know," Missy replied, "Let's ask mom." So, they went to Tim's mom and showed her the rock. "This is coal," she said. "It's used to make a fire."
Missy and Tim were excited about their new find. They decided to keep the coal and play with it. They had a lot of fun rolling it, throwing it, and hiding it. But soon, it was time for dinner. "I'll miss playing with our coal," said Missy. "Me too," said Tim. "But we can play again tomorrow!" And they happily went inside to eat, looking forward to more adventures with their new friend, the coal.
