Puss in Boots with Ava

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Pedro. He was Ava's best friend. They played together all the time. They both loved dogs! They would spend hours in the garden, pretending to be dog trainers.

One day, Pedro met Ava in the garden. He looked sad. “My father died,” he said. “He left me a cat.”

Ava was surprised. “A cat?” she asked. “How are you going to survive with just a cat?”

Pedro was upset. He didn’t know what to do.

Just then, the cat jumped onto Pedro’s lap. “If you buy me a pair of leather boots,” the cat said, “I’ll be very useful!”

Ava and Pedro knew what to do! They ran to Pedro’s house and opened their piggy bank. They had saved many coins! They used all the money to buy the cat some boots.

The cat was excited! “Let’s go on an adventure!” he said.

Pedro looked at Ava. He wanted to stay with his brothers. But Ava loved adventures! She smiled and said, “Let’s go!”

The cat led Ava to the enchanted forest near Ava’s house in San Antonio. It was a magical place! The trees swayed in the wind, and the flowers shimmered in the sunlight. Ava could hear the birds singing and the squirrels chattering.

The cat jumped and landed on a tree branch. Ava gasped. “You’re a good hunter, aren’t you?” she said.

The cat purred. “I am,” he said. “I caught two hens for us.”

Ava was impressed. “You’re amazing!” she said.

As they walked through the forest, Ava used her superpower. She could read minds! She could hear the trees whispering and the flowers humming. She told the cat what she heard. The cat laughed. “You have a very special gift,” he said.

“Do you have a plan?” Ava asked.

“Yes, I do,” the cat said. “You’ll see.”

The cat and Ava arrived at a beautiful castle. It was surrounded by a sparkling moat and had tall towers reaching for the clouds. The cat gave the hens to one of the king’s servants. “They are a gift from a young man who just moved to the kingdom,” the cat said.

The king was pleased. “Thank you!” he said.

The cat and Ava set off to find Pedro. They met him in the garden.

“What did you do?” Pedro asked the cat.

The cat smiled. “We have a plan,” he said.

Pedro looked at Ava. “What’s the plan?” he asked.

Ava shook her head. “I don’t know yet,” she said.

Pedro and Ava played in the garden. Then they decided to go swimming in the pond.

Just then, the cat ran up to them. “Stay here!” he said. “It’s all part of the plan!”

A royal carriage pulled up. The king was inside. He was looking for someone who had stolen the clothes of his son.
