10 dan danced all day from dawn b until dark. b 10

12 dan sat down and cried b and cried. b 12

13 b Poor little radio b what happened to you? b I will get you fixed... I promise you! b 13

14 dan ran all the way to the b radio store. b 14

15 dan knocked two times and b opened the door. b 15

16 But the big b man wasn t there that day. b 16

17 He was eating b lunch at a b Chinese buffet. b 17

18 So his little, white b cat was watching the store... b 18

19 ...on the day that b dan walked through the door. b 19

20 Oh, my! thought b the cat. That is a big mouse! b 20

21 But do I want a mouse in my b house? b 21

22 Mice have tummies and b tails and toes... b 22

23 A mouse in b my house? b 23

24 Oh, no, no, no, no! 24

25 So the cat growled dan and frowned at. Inside her head was a b catch-a-mouse plan. b 25

26 dan took a deep b b breath and said, Boo, b hoo! My radio died. Oh! b What should I do? 26

27 cat I suppose, said the, you think I can fix it? She wrinkled a nose like b broken, old biscuit. b 27

28 My radio is my only b friend. All I want, b said dan, is to hear it again. b 28

29 cat Then, said the, you can get in this box. Come on, get in, b quick, quick, chop, chop. b 29

30 dan looked at the b box it was rather small b and he, dan the deer, was really quite tall. b 30

31 But dan did not like b to make a fuss, so he b squeezed himself in with b the spiders and dust. 31

32 The cat grabbed b some tape and b wrapped up the box. 32

33 And then, to be b sure, she locked b it with locks. b 33

34 A mouse in the b house? Ha, ha, I fixed that. b b 34

35 And now, said b the cat, it is time for a nap. b 35

36 dan wriggled and b jiggled but couldn t get b out. What are you doing?! b he said with a shout. 36

37 Hush! said the b cat. I am trying to sleep. b 37

38 dan What? said. Did you call me a b sheep? b 38

39 Shush! said the b cat. Don t you dare speak again! b 39

40 Are you working b on fixing my radio b friend? b 40

41 Stop! said the b cat. You must make no more noise! b 41

42 Then, while I wait, b can I play with some toys? b 42

43 The cat pushed a b pair of socks into b her ears. 43

44 There! said the b cat. Now I won t have to hear... b 44

45 HE L L O O OOO O O O O Helllloooooo? b dan said... 45

46 ...and the cat nearly screamed. b 46

47 Silence! she said. b Or I ll break your b machine! b 47

48 Wait! thought the b cat. If I fix the box, b b I won t have to listen b to silly mouse-talks. 48

49 So the cat put b the radio onto b her bed. 49

50 Aha! These b batteries... they b are all dead! b 50

51 Plop! Plop! b New batteries... b 51
