THE UGLY KITTEN By Manaaki

Once there was an ugly kitten. He was born ugly because when he was born no one looked after him properly. After he was born his mum sent the kitten to the duck as a present. The kitten felt really sad.

  

The duck was as means as a devil and the duck said, “Get lost,” to the kitten. The kitten walked away into the freezing cold night. He was sad a very cold. He wished he was with his mum.

He went walking back to the mum cat. But the mum cat said, “Go away! Go to the hen.” So the kitten went to the hen. But the hen said, “Go away you filthy thing!” So the kitten ran away.

Then a farmer saw him and picked him up and took him to his house. The people in the house petted him and put him by the fire to get warm. The little boy picked up the kitten and the kitten slept on the boy. The boy’s smile was as big as the sun and everyone lived happily ever after.
