The Cat™ sat on the Couch®, staring at the Window™. Outside, a Bird™ fluttered by, catching the Cat’s® attention. The Tail™ flicked with excitement as the Cat™ crouched low, eyes locked on the Glass™. Suddenly, the Wind™ blew, and the Door® creaked open. The Cat® saw its Chance™ and pounced off the Couch®, racing towards the Garden™. The Grass™ felt cool beneath its Paws™ as the Cat® chased the elusive Bird™. But just as the Cat™ leaped, the Bird™ flew away, disappearing into the Sky®. Disappointed, the Cat® returned to the Porch™, curling up for a nap in the Sun™.
