    INTRODUCTION

    Our lovely cat stuck in the crook of the tree


    Our smart and confident father ready to
    take it down.
    Let’s see what happens next.
    The tree was wobbly,
    The tree was tall.
    Mum said, “ For goodness’

    “Never mind.” said Dad.
    Brushing the dirt
    Off his hair and his face
    And his trousers and his shirt

    We’ll try plan B. Stand


    Out of the way!”
    Mum said, “Don’t fall
    Again, O.K?”
    “Fall again?” said Dad
    “Funny joke!”
    Then he swung himself up
    On a branch. It broke

    Dad landed wallop
    Back on the deck.
    Mum said, “ Stop it,

    Easy as winking
    To a climber like me!”

    Word Meaning
    • easy as winking: very easy to do.
    Then he climbed up high
    On the garden wall.
    Guess what?
    He didn’t fall!

    He gave a great leap


    And he landed flat
    In the crook of the tree trunk-
    Right on the cat!

    crook
    The cat gave a yell
    And sprang to the ground,
    Pleased as Punch to be
    Safe and sound.

    So it’s smiling and smirking,


    Smug as can be,
    But poor old Dad’s
    Still
    Stuck
    Up
    The
    Tree
    SUMMARY
    One morning, a cat got stuck in the tree. The narrator’s dad decided
    that he will easily be able to take care of it. Narrator’s father decided
    to climb the tree. His wife warned him that he might fall, but ignoring
    her warnings 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.
    Not giving up still, the father climbed up the garden wall. Luckily this
    time he did not 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.
