Pet Show!

The kids told each other about the pets they would bring. Matt said he would bring ants! “I’m gonna bring my mouse!” bragged Roberto. “What are you gonna bring, Archie-the cat?” “Uh-huh,” said Archie.
The next day they all got ready for the pet show. “Where’s the cat?” Archie called. “Anyone see the cat?” Archie and Willie looked in the cat’s favorite hangouts, while Peter and Susie searched up and down the street. No cat.
Archie’s mother came to the window.
“Where can that cat be?” he asked her.
“You know how independent he is, Archie.
You never know when to expect him.” “But I expect him now! It’s time for the pet show! Maybe he’s inside somewhere.”
Archie ran into the building.
