Cosmo and Rebecca: The Broken Glass (Cosmo is a black cat, and Rebecca is a person) Cosmo and Rebecca were best friends. Rebecca was leaving the house. Cosmo tried to leave, but it didn’t work, and then Cosmo looked out the window. All of the sudden, he tripped and broke her favorite glass. Cosmo had a plan. He was going to escape and buy another one, but he only had so much time. He tried to break the window. He wasn’t escaping, so he climbed up the chimney. It worked. “But how do you get down?” he said softly. So then, he tried to get down. He slid down, but that didn’t work, so he jumped. Yes, he jumped down from the house. “I’m flying!” he screamed, and then he plopped on a person’s head. “What is happening! Is it raining cats?” the person yelled. Cosmo jumped off the person’s head and ran. Then, he went to the store to buy a new glass, but they were sold out, so he went home, and he put a blanket on the broken glass. A couple minutes later, Rebecca came home. Rebecca said, “Can I see my glass?” Cosmo said, “No, it is taking a walk or something.” Rebecca laughed and said, “OK.” Rebecca tried to lift the blanket, but Cosmo stopped her. “Why can’t I see the glass?” Rebecca said. Rebecca lifted up the blanket and saw the broken ashes of the glass. Rebecca looked happy and said, “Yes!” Cosmo said, “Why did you say yes?” Rebecca said, “Because I HATE that glass.” Cosmo said, “OK,” and he thought to himself, “Wow, what a waste of time, but at least she didn’t care about that glass—WAIT I MADE THAT GLASS FOR HER!”
