There once was a cat. The cat can stand, but she’s screaming. She had an incredible long tail. Her eyes were humongous. Her owner was a farmer.
He screamed when he saw the cat. The cat started dancing. The farmer started dancing too. And then the farmer’s wife came in, and she started dancing too. Then the daughter came in and started screaming. She said, “The cat can stand!”
