Rommy the Brave Cat

 

Rommy is a small, orange cat. He lives with his owner, Anna, in a quiet house near the park. Every day, Rommy likes to sit by the window and watch the birds fly. He is a kind cat, but sometimes he feels scared of loud sounds like thunder or cars. One day, he hears a strange noise in the garden.

Anna runs outside and sees a small puppy stuck in a bush. The puppy is crying. Rommy runs after Anna. He sees the puppy and walks slowly to it. Rommy does not feel scared now. He gently touches the puppy with his nose. The puppy stops crying and follows Rommy out of the bush. Anna smiles and says, “Rommy, you are a brave cat!”

From that day, Rommy is not scared of loud sounds anymore. He walks around the garden with pride. The puppy, named Coco, becomes Rommy’s best friend. They play together every day. Rommy is happy because he helped someone, and now he has a new friend.
