The Storyteller felt as light as a [?] this morning. He had been on a diet you see. He looked as daft as a [?] though in his long red coat which was far too big for him. The thirteen cats were as quiet as [?] though since they did not want to spoil his mood, which was as sweet as [?].

He sat down to breakfast feeling as cool as a [?] and tucked in to his bowl of lettuce which was as green as [?]. Unfortunately, there, hiding in the lettuce was half a worm (the other half was still out in the garden feeling as safe as houses!). The Storyteller didn't see it and chomped it down along with a particularly crisp lettuce leaf.

The thirteen cats all shouted out:

"YOU HAVE JUST EATEN A WORM!! HA, HA, HA!!!" (well, the ha, ha, ha came out more as meow, meow, meow but the effect was the same!)

The Storyteller grabbed his tummy and rushed to the bathroom where...yes, you have guessed it...

HE WAS AS SICK AS A [?]!!!!
