Tammy's Sunshine
By Mary Lynn Bushong
  

1     Tammy liked to be in the garden. She liked to pull weeds. She liked to pick things, too.
 
2     Last week, Tammy picked beans. She helped Mom get them ready for supper. They were very good.
 
3     The corn was tall, taller than Tammy. It was almost ready. The ears were fat. The silks were turning brown. Tammy began counting the ears. She heard a strange sound. She stopped and listened. It sounded like a kitten.
 
4     The little girl got down on her knees. She looked down the row. At first, she saw nothing. Then a patch of sunshine moved. Tammy looked again. It was not sunshine. It was a yellow kitten.
 
5     Tammy spoke in a soft high voice. "Here, kitty, kitty." The kitten mewed but would not come.
 
6     "Poor little kitty," said Tammy gently. "Maybe you want something to eat."
 
7     Tammy slowly backed away from the kitten. Once she was out of the garden, she ran to the house.
 
8     "Mom, guess what I found in the garden!" she cried.
 
9     "I do not know," said Mom looking up from a cookbook.
 
10     "I found a little yellow kitten."
 
11     "Did you pet it?" asked Mom.
