In this story, we see that the cat has gained a bit of a reputation around town, which isn't surprising, given his antics in the original story. The boy is aware of this responsibility and gets stressed when the cat seems to put this at risk. The little boy is told by his mother that she would like him to clean the driveway while she is away, and it is therefore his responsibility to complete the task. This story teaches children that although they are only young, they still have a certain amount of responsibility. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own. 'Now look what you did!' Said the fish to the cat.These notes were contributed by members of the GradeSaver community. 'No, I do not like it, Not one little bit!' This is not a good game,' Said out fish as he lit. He fell into a pot! He said, 'Do I like this? Oh, no! I do not.

And Sally and I, We saw ALL the things fall!Īnd our fish came down, too. 'Look at me! Look at me! Look at me NOW! It is fun to have funįrom up there on the ball. 'With a cup and a cake On the top of my hat! I can hold TWO books! I can hold up the fish! And a little toy ship! And some milk on a dish! And look! I can hop up and down on the ball! But that is not all! Oh, no. 'Look at me! Look at me now!' said the cat. With a book in one hand! And a cup on my hat! But that is not ALL I can do!' Said the cat. I will hold you up high As I stand on a ball. 'This is no fun at all! Put me down!' said the fish. 'Why, we can have Lots of good fun, if you wish, With a game that I call UP-UP-UP with a fish!'
