Adventures of Michael the Cat and Oleksandra the Kitten. Friends (Басан) - страница 2

– Kitten, I'm going to tell you a secret now, but don't tell it to your brother or friends, okay?

– Good!

Oleksandra the Kitten with a candy behind her cheek caught every word of her mother's.

– Being a girl is much better. And I'll tell you why now. Girls wear beautiful dresses, and boys always wear jeans or tracksuits. Girls play with such beautiful dolls, and boys with rough and black pistols. Girls weave pigtails, tails, buns with different rubber bands and hairpins. Girls know how to bake delicious cakes and cookies, and boys admire and taste with pleasure. Girls become mothers and this is the greatest happiness on earth! Imagine if I wanted to be a boy? You would never have been here!

– No! No, Mommy! Don't scare me! I don't want to be a boy, and so you are!

– That's what I'm talking about!

Mama Cat smiled and cut the cooled pie into four pieces.

When the children were sitting at the table, the Mother Cat winked at Oleksandra the Kitten and said loudly:

– Do you know, boys, that Kitten Oleksandra helped me bake this pie?

– Oleksandra the Kitten?

Three Cats screamed in one voice, raising their eyebrows in surprise. They had already finished their portions and were looking at the little Kitten with admiration.

– Oleksandra, you're so good, I didn't even know you could bake pies!

Mishuta the Cat said with surprise.

Cat Michael and Cat Lev nodded, agreeing with Cat Mishuta.

– Oleksandra, I'm sorry that I said that Lev and Mishuta are only my friends. They are our friends. And we can play together. Come to play with us. Brother Michael said to her.

–Thanks, boys, but I'm going to play with dolls!

Alexandra slyly squinted and smiled to her Mother Cat, and the Cats, sighing with relief, happily disappeared from the kitchen in a matter of seconds.
