    When he went into his aunt and uncle they had great welcome for him. When he was a while talking of America, he told them about the cats he met on his way, and how the dog killed them.
    There was a kitten sitting by the fireside. When he heard how the cats had been killed he shouted aloud:- "Oh! the king of the cats is killed". The kitten jumped up on the man and killed him.
