SHORT STORY

Once upon a time, there lived a smart yet silly little girl named Saniska. She was afraid of 4 legged animals. She was afraid of a cow, dog, and even a kitten. One day, Saniska’s mother brought a kitten which looked afraid and sad.

When Saniska saw the kitten, she shouted, “Monster, monster! Please help me!”

Her mother shouted back at her. “You shouldn’t be so scared. It’s just a kitten.”

Later that night, it was so stormy outside and Saniska was so scared again. But suddenly, Saniska heard some noises. When Saniska peeked under bed, she saw the kitten. It was also looking very scared. Forgetting her fear of kittens, she took it into her arms and let it sleep with her.

From then onwards, Saniska was never scared of four-legged animals.
