　　Long long ago, there was a very beautiful kingdom(1). But there was no cat in the kingdom. One day, an old grandma came there and brought a little cat to the king. He was very delighted(2) and gave the cat to his daughter, Princess(3) Nana.
　　Princess Nana liked the little cat very much. But the cat disappeared(4) one night. Nobody could find it in the palace(5). Nana was very sad(6) and cried all day.
　　The king was also very worried. He asked his servants(7) to stick the notice(8) on the wall. It was written(9)，
　　“Princess Nana’s cat was lost. If you find it, you will get ten thousand pounds(10). The cat is young, but it has moustache(11).”
　　The next morning, someone brought an animal to the palace. But it was a little goat, not the little cat.
　　So the second notice was written，
　　“Remember! The little cat has big eyes. It can climb trees and catch mice. ”
　　Soon someone brought another(12) animal. It was not the cat, either，but an owl(13).
　　There was a picture of the cat on the third notice. And this time, some men carried a cage. The animal in the cage was like the cat very much. But it was much bigger than the cat. Oh! It was a tiger, not the cat.
　　Princess Nana was very， very sad. She could not eat anything. Suddenly she heard a strange sound(14) “Mew, mew, mew...” Then the cat jumped on the window. Nana was very delighted. She found her loving(15) cat.
