Andy and the Sleepy Cat Tobby
Andy was inattentive of his parents’ advice. His parents always said that he need to sleep early but he did not.
Andy’s father was quite disappointed when Andy did not follow their advice. So they decided to buy a sleepy cat and
named it Tobby. This cat can sleep anytime and anywhere but Andy’s bed was his favourite spot. Every night he will be
sprawled out sleeping on Andy’s bed and every time Andy will sleep late at night he will find the cat and will try to push
over the cat. The cat was so fat that Andy cannot push the cat over. It was impossible for Andy to sleep on his bed. If he
found the cat in his bed we will sleep on the chair uncomfortably.

“This is unbelievable!” he cried. Andy decided to go to bed early and he was shocked to find the cat was not in
the bed. He quickly replaced the blanket that Tubby slept on his bed then went to sleep. His parents misunderstood why
Andy went to bed on time but they were very happy.
