THE STORY OF DICK
Dick
was a poor little boy. His father and mother died. He had no friends. His only
friend was his red cat.
One
day Dick heard that life was very easy in London, that all the people in London
were very good and kind, that the streets in London were full of gold.
“Let’s
go to London,” Dick said to his cat.
“All
right, let’s go,” said the cat.
But
when they arrived in London, they didn’t see the streets full of gold. They
didn’t see anybody who wanted to help them.
So,
Dick found a job on one of the ships ready to sail to foreign countries.
“May
I take my cat with me?” Dick asked the captain.
“Certainly,
and I think you will have a wonderful travel,” said the captain.
And
it was a wonderful travel. The captain was a good old kind man. He told Dick
stories about strange lands and strange people, about strange plants and
strange animals.
One
day there was a storm in the sea. The ship was driven into a strange country.
The people who lived in that country had red skins.
The
captain of the ship sent beautiful presents to the King and the Queen of that
country. Then they invited the captain to the palace. It was very big and nice.
There were a lot of tasty things on the tables. But suddenly hundreds of rats
ran into the room and began to eat all the tasty things.
“This
happens every day,” sad the king. “We don’t know what to do. Nobody can help
us.”
When
the red cat saw the rats, he jumped from Dick’s arms and soon all the rats were
dead. The King and the Queen were so pleased that they gave Dick twelve bags of
gold and many other presents.
When
Dick and his cat came back to London, they were very rich. Dick married a
beautiful girl and they all lived happily together.
