Reading

Today I read HENRY AND MUDGE and the Happy Cat.

 Henry's father opened the door. Sitting on the steps was the shabbiest cat Henry had ever seen. I had a saggy belly, skinny legs, and fur that looked like mashed prunes. Henry and Henry's father and Henry's big dog Mudge stood in the door and looked at the shabby cat.

 I think that Mudge is a gentle dog because he accepted the cat soon. Finally they had to be separated but they came to understand each other well. I think they became good friends!!
