In the village of Kentucky, there lived a young girl named Amanda. She moved here only 2 weeks ago. Her closest friends were far from her. Amanda kept herself busy for hours by walking around the grassy fields nearby, enjoying the natural beauty along them. On the weekend, Amanda would even volunteer on farms to help take care of sheep, cows and horses.
Still, it was easy for Amanda to feel lonely in her big house. One day, just as Amanda was about to leave and spend time walking around, she saw a cat jump onto the porch(门廊). Even though the cat looked dirty, it was beautiful, with bright blue eyes.
Amanda's feeling of surprise quickly gave way to a feeling of pity. Thinking of what she could offer the cat, Amanda hurried to the kitchen and prepared two bowls: one filled with fish and the other with water. After sniffing(嗅)them carefully, the cat began to hungrily eat them. Once it finished its meal, the cat ran away into the thick grass and disappeared.
From that day, the cat would appear on the porch every day in the morning and beg for food and water, and Amanda would always be there ready. Their relationship started to deepen as Amanda enjoyed regularly seeing her new “furry(毛茸茸的)neighbour”. The cat was too nervous to be taken indoors, but it was comfortable with Amanda gradually.
However, one day, everything took a different turn. In the morning, Amanda brought a bowl of fish near the porch and waited for the cat as usual, but it didn't appear. The next day, and the day after that, the cat didn't show up either. She stepped into the thick grass where the cat usually went and searched carefully.
At that time, she heard the sounds of kittens(小猫)meowing. She was surprised to find her “furry neighbour” lying in the grass with four kittens. The kittens were very cute. Amanda quickly rushed back home to prepare some food and water for them...
