Once upon a time, there was a stubborn cat named Tom. Tom did not like to listen to anyone. One day, Tom found a big book. The book was about history. It had many stories about things that happened a long time ago.
Tom wanted to know what was in the book, but he could not read. So, he had an idea. He decided to rub the book with his paw. He thought that if he rubbed the book, the stories would come out and he could learn about history.
Tom rubbed the book for a long time, but nothing happened. He was still a stubborn cat and did not want to give up. He asked his friend, a wise old owl, for help. The owl told Tom that he needed to learn how to read to know the stories in the book. Tom listened to the owl and learned how to read. Finally, Tom could read the history book and learn about the past.
