Chloe Looks After the Class Pet
Chloe is in charge of the class pet for the weekend, but it goes missing.
On Friday, Yara the deer said, ‘This weekend, Chloe will take Nell the rabbit home.’ Chloe was thrilled. She carried the cage home like treasure.
On Saturday morning, Chloe went to feed Nell. The cage door was open! The cage was empty! Chloe’s heart fell. She had forgotten to latch it properly. Nell was missing!
Chloe searched everywhere. She looked under the bed. She looked in the bath. Nothing. She wanted to hide the mistake. But Chloe knew that wouldn’t help Nell. She called Tomas.
‘I lost Nell,’ Chloe said. Tomas said, ‘Don’t panic. Let’s look together.’ They tiptoed through the house, whispering. And at last, they heard a tiny rustle behind the curtain.
There was Nell, safe and sound, looking sleepy. Chloe scooped Nell up gently, and checked the latch three times. On Monday, Chloe told Yara what had happened. ‘Thank you for being honest,’ said Yara.
‘We all make mistakes,’ said Yara. ‘Chloe fixed it, and that’s what counts.’ And from then on, Chloe was the most careful pet-minder in the class.
