The Christmas Kitten
Once upon a time there was a little girl who wanted a kitten for
Christmas.
Now, her mother couldn't buy a kitten and parcel it up for Christmas
Day, so she bought it a week before Christmas and gave it to the
little girl.
"You're getting your Christmas present a week early this year," her
mother explained and handed over the fluffy little tabby kitten. "Is
that what you want?"
The little girl, whose name was Kitty, said, "It's wonderful,
mother... just what I wanted. There's just one thing wrong!"
"What's that?" her mother asked.
"Well, it has a cute little claw on the outside of every paw and a
cute little claw on the inside of every paw - but the poor little
thing has no claws at all in the middle of its paws!"
Her mother smiled. "Don't worry, Kitty... when you wake up on
Christmas morning you'll find the claws are there."
Now Kitty loved her kitten dearly, but she worried about the claws in
the middle of its paws.
The days passed and there wasn't even a hint, a clue or an inkling of
claws in the middle of its paws!
When Christmas Eve arrived and there was still no sign,
Kitty went to her mother and asked again, "Are you absolutely sure
that the kitten will have its middle claws tomorrow? There's only a
few hours to go and there's not a hint or clue or an inkling as to
claws as far as I can see!"
"Wait till you wake up on Christmas morning," her mother smiled and
went on stuffing the turkey.
So Kitty went to sleep a worried girl.
And when she woke up on Christmas morning she ignored the presents in
her stocking and rushed downstairs to look at her little kitten.
She was astounded, amazed and just a little surprised to see that her
kitten had four claws on every paw! The middle ones had appeared as
if by magic.
Kitty rushed to her parent's bedroom.
"Mummy, Mummy! The kitten has grown its middle claws!"
"Of course it has," her mother grinned.
"But how did you know?" Kitty demanded.
Her father rolled over sleepily and sighed, "Oh, Kitty, everybody
knows... that Centre-claws always comes at Christmas!"
