One morning, a cat got stuck in a tree. The narrator’s dad decided that he would easily be able to take care of it. The narrator’s father decided to climb the tree. His wife warned him that he might fall, but he ignored her warnings as he climbed the ladder, slipped and fell.

Having fallen once, he thought of trying again, another way. Yet again ignoring his wife's warnings, he swung himself up on a branch. The branch broke and again he fell.

Still not giving up, the father climbed the garden wall. Luckily this time he didn't fall. However, the moment he sprang unto the tree the cat jumped to the ground, safe and sound. Poor father, on the other hand, got stuck in the tree. the end


hope this helps!
