Once upon a time, in a small house, there was a shy cat named Tom. Tom liked to sit by the fireplace and watch the fire. He felt warm and happy there. But sometimes, he would hear strange sounds from the fireplace that scared him.
One day, Tom saw a little mouse named Jerry. Jerry was very fast, and he liked to run around the house. Tom wanted to play with Jerry, but he was too shy to ask. So, he watched Jerry from afar, hoping that one day they could be friends.
One day, Jerry got too close to the fireplace and his tail got stuck. Tom knew he had to help. He found a small thing to cut Jerry's tail free. Tom saved Jerry, and they became best friends. From that day on, they played together all the time, and Tom was not shy anymore.
