The Button Witch. Part One - страница 2

The girl blinked in surprise and said, "Hi. My name is Olivia." The cat frowned and whispered, "Human names are so weird! I'd rather call you Cotton or Snow. "By the way, do you really need so many buttons?" The cat put his paws in a pleading position, showing great interest.

Olivia hesitated. "I don't think my mother would be happy if I came home without buttons on my parka. What do you need buttons for?"

"Never mind," the cat frowned and stepped back.

"I have some candy!" The girl said, taking the chocolate candies out of her pocket. "Would you like some?"

"No, thanks. I'm on a seafood diet," the cat said.

"What does that mean? A seafood diet?" Olivia asked.

"Well, if he sees food, he eats it," Dean replied, smiling. "Just kidding. Actually, he likes meatballs and sausages!"

"Why aren't you in school, Olivia?" Fargo questioned.

"We don't usually have classes on Sundays," the girl said.

Fargo yelled, "Cats usually study on Sunday and skip the other days of the week because they're very busy."

"Doing what?" Olivia asked.

"Well, they usually scratch the couch or chase rats. Sometimes they sleep on the windowsill and bask in the sun."

"Do they give out grades at the cat school?"

"No. But if a cat learns a lesson well, they give him a tuna candy as a reward. Those candies are so delicious! Just thinking about them makes my mouth water!"
