One day, I was with my friends. We were having a picnic in the field and I saw something strange. A white cat with a pink nose was sitting in a tree. There was nothing strange about that, of course, but it was eating the leaves in the tree! That was strange! Cats don't usually eat leaves. "Probably it's very hungry," I thought.
While I was looking at it, the cat got out of the tree, jumped down to the ground, walked across the field and sat next to us. It was possible that it wanted some of our picnic to eat, but there was nothing for the cat. The cat got up and came close to me. I talked to it and it smiled at me.
Was it a Cheshire cat? I found some biscuits in my pocket and gave them to the cat. Soon, it was eating biscuits and smiling at us. Then, after a while, the cat got up and walked across the field. I thought it wasn't hungry any more.
