Cirmos was a kitten. He found a red ball on the carpet.
The ball rolled. Cirmos ran after it.
The ball rolled under the cupboard. Cirmos could not reach it.
“Miaow,” said Cirmos. That meant: help.
Panni heard him. She went to the cupboard. She bent down. She reached in with her hand.
“Got it,” she said.
The ball rolled out. Cirmos jumped up and caught it with his paw.
“Now you throw it,” said Panni.
Panni threw the ball. Cirmos ran after it.
The ball rolled under the cupboard again. But now Cirmos knew what to do.
“Miaow,” he said, and ran to Panni.
Panni pulled the ball out. Then she carried Cirmos into the garden.
There was no cupboard there. There was only grass, and sunshine.
Cirmos ran. Panni threw. The ball rolled in the grass.
That is how they played all afternoon.
