A pastor (牧师) had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was afraid to come down. He offered warm milk，and even small fish. But the kitten would not come down．The tree was not strong enough to climb, so the pastor decided to tie a rope to the tree and the other end to his car．If he moved the car，the tree would bend down, and then he could reach up and get the kitten．
He did all this．But as he moved a little further forward, the rope broke．The tree went “boing!”
and the kitten instantly sailed out of
sight through the air．The pastor felt
terrible．He walked all over the
neighborhood asking people if they
had seen a little kitten．But nobodyhad seen a stray(迷途的) kitten．
So he prayed，“God，I just
give this kitten to your keeping”,
and went on about his business．
A few days later he was at the
grocery store, and met one of his
church members．He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food．
This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it.

This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it. So he asked her．“Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?” ? “You won’t believe this, ” She replied, and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then, a few days before, the child had begged again, so she had finally told her little girl, “Well, if God gives you a cat, I’ll let you keep it.”
She told the pastor, “I watched my child go out into the yard, get on her knees, reach out her hands and pray God for a cat. And really, Pastor, you won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with paws spread out, and came down right into her hands. ”Possible versionEnjoy
