Kim's Jam
Kim had a wish — a bun and jam! Her dad was on a mat. He had a big nap. The bag of jam sat on the mat. Kim ran to the bag, but Pat the cat was on it! Pat, the fat cat, sat on the bag. He did tap, tap, tap on it. “Pat, can I have that bag?” said Kim. But Pat the cat hid the bag. Kim had a fix. She got some ham and set it in a pan. Pat ran to get the ham! Then Kim got the jam bag. “You funny cat!” said Kim. Kim had her bun and jam at last.
