while she meowed happily. She was very happy to be un-stinky. She had

to tell her mommy and her brothers and sisters she was un-stinky again.

The little kitten ran to the box in the corner of the barn where her mommy

and her brothers and sisters were. They were very happy to see her and

very happy that she didn’t smell like onions anymore. She smelled like a

clean little kitten again. All of the little kittens did a happy kitten dance.

After their happy kitten dance all the other little kittens gave the now un-

stinky little kitten big kitten hugs and kitten kisses. Then momma cat gave

her some momma cat kisses and said “Welcome home my sweet little

kitten. You are not a stinky little kitten anymore.”

The kitten told her mother about how she tried to find a place to take a

bath but none of her friends would help her. She didn't understand why

they didn't help but the one farm animal she had always avoided was the

one who helped her.

Momma cat thought about that for a few minutes. Then she pulled the

kitten close and said “Problems come in different sizes. What may be a big

problem for you may be a little problem for some one else. Also helping

you solve your problem may cause a bigger problem for who ever helps

you. That was the case in your situation. If the cow, the horse or the hen

had helped you they would not have any fresh water for the rest of the day.

That is a very big problem for them. Much bigger than the way you

smelled. If the ducks, turtles and fish helped you they would not have fresh

water until it rains. That is a big problem for them. Do you understand

what I am telling you?”
