A little girl named Brooke has 

always wanted a pet cat. She 

had begged her father for one 

for years but she never got 

one. 

The next day at outside of school Brooke's 

best friend Amy came running into the 

classroom so excited. Brooke asked, "Why 

are you so happy today?"

Amy replied, "I got a kitten yesterday! My 

mom and dad surprised me!"

Brooke, pretending to be happy for her 

friend, said, "Wow! Lucky you!"

Brooke thought as soon as she got home 

from school today she was going to beg her 

dad one last time for a pet cat. 

Brooke came running into the kitchen and started 

shouting, "DADDY I WANT A CAT RIGHT NOW, AMY GOT 

ONE, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T HAVE ONE. 

I PROMISE TO TAKE CARE OF IT AND FEED IT 

EVERYDAY!!!!"

Brooke's father said, "Calm down Brooke, you will get a 

cat when I think you're ready for one and I don't think 

that time is right now."

Brooke was not satisfied with that answer and stormed 

off into her room. 

The following day was Valentine's Day which was 

one of Brooke's favorite holidays. Even though it 

was one of her favorites, she found that she had a 

hard time being happy because she wanted a cat 

so badly and her father thought she wasn't ready 

for one. 

However, once she got to school she could not 

help but be happy once she began to receive 

valentines from all her classmates. 

In a surprisingly good mood Brooke walks home from school. 

She opens her front door and walks into her living room. 

Sitting there on the floor right infront of her is a cat! He was 

black and white and had big green eyes. Brooke was so 

shocked and happy she was not sure if she should hug the cat 

or her dad first!

Her father comes in and Brooke yells, "Thank you so much 

Dad!! This is the best surprise ever!"

Her dad said, "Well, I thought this would be a good Valentine's 

Day gift, that's why I did not want to tell you, I wanted it to be 

a surprise! So, what are you going to name him?"

Brooke thought about it then said, "Hmmm, I'll call him 

Mervin!"

"Sounds like a good name to me!"
