The kitten looked lost and scared. Timmy decided to take the kitten inside and gave it some milk. They quickly became friends. The next day, Timmy was playing with the kitten in the garden. They chased each other around and had a lot of fun. But then, the kitten ran towards the forest. Timmy called out to the kitten, but it didn’t stop. Without thinking, Timmy followed the kitten into the forest. Timmy realised he had wandered deep into the forest and couldn't find his way back. He started to feel scared and alone. Just then, he heard his mum calling his name. She had noticed Timmy was missing and had come looking for him with Dad. Timmy’s mum and dad found him sitting under a big tree, holding the kitten.
