The Case for a Cat
What does Carly’s family talk about after dinner?
“Did you hear what Mr. Mendez said about the animal shelter?” Carly asked. “They have too many kittens!”
Mom was washing dishes. She didn’t turn around. “Yes, it’s sad that so many animals don’t have homes.”
“We could give one a home!” said Carly. Now, Mom turned around, shaking her head.
“Dad and I would like you to have a pet,” explained Mom, “but our apartment is so small.”
“The Hamlins live just two apartments down. They have a cat,” objected Carly.
Mom frowned. She looked at Dad. “Dad and I will have to talk about it,” she said slowly. “We need to think hard about whether we are ready for a cat or not.”
“Okay,” said Carly. Then, she grinned. “If you need any help, let me know. I’ll help you think.”
