The poor owner could do nothing but sit 6 the tree.A kind neighbour offered her some cat food, expecting it would make the hungry cat come down.Nearby dog owners took their pets for walks instead of letting them out in their yards so that Hank would not climb even 7 with fear.
Nothing had worked until it came to the fifth day. 8 Lydia, another neighbour, talked of a clever way of getting the cat down from the tree,Delores decided to 9 it at once.Together, they produced a system of ropes and pulleys(滑轮)and lifted a basket with some of Hank’s favourite things up to him.To their excitement,Hank jumped into it.
Delores was really thankful.“I feel good living in such a 10 neighbourhood.It gave me hope when Hank was in trouble,”she said.
