Step 8, set 2

The kittens next door

The text

Tip for the adult

Read it twice if you can: the first time to get the words right and the second time to read it as a whole.

Vores nabo bankede på i går.

Hun havde en kasse med, og der kom små lyde ud af den.

Inde i kassen lå fire killinger.

De var kun nogle få uger gamle.

Deres mor lå i kurven ved siden af og holdt øje med os.

Jeg måtte holde den mindste.

Den vejede næsten ingenting.

"Vær forsigtig," hviskede min mor.

Og det var jeg.
