Read and Analyse

On Sunday afternoon, Kai and his cousin Lachlan were exploring the old shed behind their aunt’s house. They spotted a small kitten on a high shelf. It had climbed up but was too frightened to come down. Kai fetched a sturdy step ladder while Lachlan spoke softly to the kitten. Together, they helped it reach the floor. Their aunt recognised the kitten as Pepper, who had slipped out of the house earlier.

4.Name the main characters in the story.
5.Where and when does the story take place?
6.What is the main problem in the story?
7.Explain how the problem is resolved.
