I Heard a Whisper

One night I was sleeping in my bed and I heard a whisper but it was too dark to see what it was. Then it turned into a purring sound. Then Dad came in and said, “Happy Birthday.” “Why are you so late for my birthday Dad?” I said. “I am sorry to tell you this but I am going to a different country because I accidentally pressed something on the computer.” “Are you coming back Dad?” “I don’t know love.” “When are you going?” “Tomorrow,” said Dad. “Oooh. Can you change it back?” I said. “No sorry.” “Dad what is this thing?” “It’s a new cat. I know you’ve always wanted a cat.” “Oh yes. I have wanted a cat. What’s its name Dad?” “You can choose,” Dad said. “Yay. Hmmm I think Tospy.” “Great choice lovely.” The next day was my birthday and the day for Dad to go. When it was time for Dad to go Mum asked if I wanted to stay home or go to drop Dad off. “Drop Dad off please,” I said. “Okay love.” When it had been nine days Mum had a surprise for me and …Boo! Suddenly Dad came out from behind the curtains and I jumped up into his arms. “I missed you so much,” I said. “I did too,” Dad said. Then I remembered I had a surprise for him. “Come with me Dad.” When we got to Topsy I said, “Open your eyes.” When he did he saw Topsy lying on her bed with little twin kittens. Dad was so happy he wanted to celebrate.
