ITEM 2 THEIR PLAN

Diane and Jimmy wanted a real tree for Christmas this year. They wanted their house filled with the smell of a pine forest, and they thought real trees looked better than fake ones. Not far from where they lived, Mr Bain grew a few small pine trees. They made a plan.

Under the cover of darkness they set out carrying a torch and a handsaw. Before long they had what they had come for. Holding one end each they headed for home. They were almost back at their own gate when they were caught in the glare of a car’s tights. It was Mr Bain's car and it was coming slowly up the road.

ITEM 3 VET CHECK “The cat's been sick again,” reported Cindy. “That's the third time this week. Something's not right. But at least she's still eating her meals.”

The large cat was now sleeping in a patch of sunlight on the floor. “I don't think she's dying," said George, “but We’ll take her to the vet to check.” "No, it's not normal,” the vet told them. “Leave her with me and I'll find out what's wrong."

They went back the next day, fearing the worst. He had checked the cat for everything he could think of. He’d taken blood tests and given x-rays.

“There is a serious problem,” the vet said.

They stood quite still. “You have a greedy cat. She eats far too much. Take her home and only feed her once a day."

a. Why was the cat sick? Because she was eating far too much.

b. Why did they stand still? to know what the problem was.
