Last Sunday morning when
came out of the room, I saw some strange footprints on the floor. These were
the footprints of some animal. These footprints were stretched from the window
of my elder brother's room to the kitchen. On entering the kitchen, I saw the bowl
of milk empty and without lid. Now, I could guess easily that these were the footprints
of a cat. The cat drank the milk and went out of house from the window of my
elder brother's room.
