The Cat's Tale

 

A boy ran toward the colossal festival

in the monstrous village at twilight.

He could run fast for a little guy.

He was such a strange person because

he fell over his cat and asked it,

"Tell me the words for the secret passage."

The cat and he sat by the bonfire

and the poor cat burnt his tail.

The boy's eyes grew wide as stone

as the cat's mind went blank.

It didn't know what to purr.

But even they started dancing.
