The Kitten by the Fence

On Saturday morning, Harper heard a tiny meow near the garden fence. She followed the sound and found a gray kitten tucked beneath a bush. The kitten looked cold, and rain was beginning to fall. Harper hurried inside and asked her dad for help. They placed a dry towel in a cardboard box and set it under the porch roof. Harper put a small bowl of water beside the box. She did not give the kitten milk because her dad explained that milk could upset a kitten’s tummy. Then Harper made a bright sign that said, “Found: gray kitten.” She and her dad showed it to a neighbor, Mr. Lee. He recognized the kitten from the house across the street. Soon, the kitten’s owner came to collect it. Harper felt glad that the kitten was safe. Before it left, the kitten rubbed its head against Harper’s hand.
