“I should really build my stamina,” thought Minny, looking at how strong and helpful Kinchuk was.

The school seemed really far, far, far away. On the way, Minny saw a lot of people working. She
saw old people digging the land to make roads. She saw young people cutting stones to lay paths.

She realised how difficult it was for Laila to get to school. And she realised that Laila always
looked so much at ease, and so happy. No wonder everyone wanted to help her!

Soon Minny was full of remorse. She really was the laziest, vainest, sourest, thoughtless, selfish
living being in all of Gompaguri, she thought. She whined, and she purred , and she screeched so
much that she was surprised people hadn't thrown her into the Psering River till now!

“I must change,” thought Minny. “I must be a new cat henceforth,” she continued to think.

Minny tried her best to be a hardworking, modest, pleasant, thoughtful, unselfish living being like
all the others in Gompaguri. Some days later she climbed up Grandpa Gomes' roof to see....well,
she had some work. There she got stuck, and couldn't climb down. She tried several times, but
decided finally that she needed help.
