Bedtime Story

It was a bright day because the sun was shining yellow as ever.

Jason woke up that morning feeling because he could walk to school. He loves to walk and started school this year. He went to the bathroom, washed his face and ears and brushed his teeth.

Suddenly, he heard his mother calling: "- Jason, hurry up! Breakfast is ready.". He raced downstairs and saw his mother still in her robe, and started wondering why. His mom told him: " - You must catch the school bus today because I'm going to stay home working". " - But, ... but, ... but mom!" said JAson sadly. It was no use, his mother hat to stay at home and he couldn't go to school on foot alone.

He thought how much he didn't like going to school on the bus: the other kids always yelling and pushing. Also, he thought that he didn't like school because he was afraid of not learning to read and write.

As he got off the school bus he saw two cats very alike. They were both grey, the same height, had a white spot on their chests and a black spot on the tips of their tails. So Jason exclaimed: " - How could people distinguish between you?!", and then he heard a little voice: " - Hi, I'm Luigi and she's Fluffy. We have lived here for a long time and know everybody, but you are the first person who talked to us". Jason blinked at the cats, not believing what his eyes were seeing.

From that moment on, they became good friends, talked about everything, playing together, they even helped each other. The cats were feeling lonely until the day that Jason talked to them, and Jason started to get better grades, because Luigi and Fluffy helped him how read and write. When Jason finally learnt to write, he shouted " - I'm writing...", and he laughed and he wrote, and he laughed and he wrote, from that day to this.
