The Lost Kitten

One sunny afternoon, Mia walked home from school. On the way, she heard a soft meow.











She looked around and saw a small kitten hiding under a bush.

The kitten looked hungry and scared.
Mia gently picked it up and said,
“Don’t worry, little one. I will help you.”

When she reached home, Mia gave the kitten some milk.

Her mother smiled and said,
“You have a kind heart, Mia. We will take care of this kitten until we find its owner.”

Mia felt happy. She named the kitten Snowy because of its white fur.
