One morning, Mr.
Finkle woke up and did not find Toodles, his cat, next to him in bed.
He couldn't understand it...Toodles always stayed in bed until he
woke up. They would go together and get the newspaper and sit and
have tea and cookies together. But today was different! Toodles
was not in bed where she should have been.
Mr. Finkle was
not the kind of person to panic however, so after searching the
whole house he went out to look for her in his very neat yard. He
knew that Toodles' favorite place to nap was in the Daffodil patch,
and even though it wasn't nap time he still decided to look for her
there. When he didn't find her, Mr. Finkle started to wonder where
she could be.
Now one thing Mr.
Finkle had was a very active imagination. He noticed that lately
Toodles had been reading an unusually high number of adventure books
lately and couldn't help wondering if she had decided to have one of
her own. Just then he saw Toodles coming out from behind the Lilac
bushes with a very sly smile on her face, and he knew that indeed
she had been up to something very exciting.
Toodles sat next
to Mr. Finkle at the kitchen table, and while he poured her a cup of
tea, she began to tell him about her adventure...
