- Run away, you monster! – shouted Fifi.
- I’m not a monster, I’m just a...
- Who are you? – asked Fifi.
- I am a cat – answered the creature.
- I don’t believe you.
- If not, you can keep thinking I am a monster and being scared. Fear makes cowards of us all. Open your eyes and tell me what you are doing in this bottle – said the cat.
