Tabby : You left it on the hood in the rain. It was getting soggy,

you know. Do you want it back?

Santa : Of course I do.

Tabby : Why?

Santa : I just do because she’s mine.

Tabby : You tell me why or you will never see it again.

Tabby : She’s all I have! When I get up in the morning, there’s

Mrs. Claus on

the side of my

pillow. When I

come home at

night, there’s

Mrs. Claus on

the kitchen table

waiting for a

hug. I miss her so

much. Please!

(Tabby takes a

stuffed animal

cat from her

knapsack and gives it to Santa.)

Santa : Oh, Mrs. Claus, I missed you! Oh, yes I did. Huggies!

Huggy – huggy – huggyboo! (Santa does a weird huggy

dance with Mrs. Claus) www.childread.com
