Once upon a time, there was a wise old cat named Whiskers. Whiskers lived in a big house with a little girl named Lucy. Whiskers liked to look out the window and watch the birds in the trees.
One day, Whiskers saw a big red ball in the yard. He wanted to play with it, but he was too old to jump down from the window. So Whiskers had an idea. He told Lucy about the ball, and she got excited. She ran to her bed and got her favorite toy, a soft, fluffy blanket. Lucy said, "I will throw the blanket on the ball, and it will be a fun game!"
The next day, Lucy took the blanket and Whiskers to the yard. She put Whiskers on the ground and threw the blanket on the ball. Whiskers looked at the ball and the blanket, and he knew it was time to play. He jumped on the blanket and started to roll the ball around. Lucy laughed and clapped her hands. They played with the ball and the blanket all day long. And from that day on, Whiskers and Lucy had lots of fun playing with the big red ball and the soft, fluffy blanket.
