Tom was very frightened of his neighbour, Mrs. Mason. She was always rude to him. She shouted so loudly at Tom that he was scared to go to school or to play. Sometimes, Mrs. Mason would throw her garbage at Tom and sometimes she left her cat Nell at him. Nell would jump at him and scratch him, without any warning. She moved so suddenly that Tom was unable to defend himself. One day, Tom was cautiously leaving his house. Just then, he heard a painful “Meeaaw”. As he looked around, he saw Nell stuck on a tree. Mrs. Mason was crying underneath the tree, “Someone help my Nell, please.” Tom was a kind boy and he felt very sorry for Nell. At once, he brought a ladder and climbed up the tree. He rescued Nell and brought her down. Mrs. Mason was never rude or unkind to Tom again.
Kind Tom
