CHAPTER 1
Today was the most exciting day in Katie's whole life! Sara Ann had brought home three little kittens.
Katie loved those kittens so much. As soon as she saw them, she howled "AROOOOOO! AROOOOOO!" She always howled like that when she was very happy.
But Katie's howling frightened the kittens.
They ran in all directions. Katie chased them around the house. "AROOOOO! AROOOOO!" she howled.
"No, no, no, Katie," said Sara Ann. "You are scaring the kittens! You stay away from them until they get used to you."
Katie felt sad. She did not want to scare the kittens.
Later that day, Sara Ann was playing with her new pets. Katie watched from around a corner. She wanted to play with the kittens too. She just loved them so much.
She tried to control herself.
She tried and tried and tried.
But Katie couldn't stop herself any longer.
She burst into the room. The kittens scattered.
"AROOOOO! AROOOOO!" she howled as she chased them around the room.
"No, Katie, no!" said Sara Ann. "You scared them again!"
