Simon is in the living room. Living room is beautiful. In the center of the room is a round table. There is a large armchair by the fireplace. When it's cold, Simon likes to read interesting books in this chair.
"Meow meow!"
Now he is looking for a sound: under the table, behind the armchair, between the sofa and the armchair. "Nothing!".
Simon is in his room. He is still looking for a source of sound: on the floor, under the bed, above the cupboard, under the carpet. "Nothing!"
Simon in the pantry. And he is still looking for the source of the sound: in the left corner, in the right corner. "Nothing!"
Simon is in his kitchen. In the middle of the room is a box. Simon is surprised.
"Meow meow!" Comes from the box.
"Who is this?" Simon asks. "What's in this box?"
It's a secret. Now he sees two black ears, a pair of big green eyes ... and a little pink nose!
"Oh, it's a kitten!" Says Simon.
He is so happy! He had a new friend. They will play hide and seek together.
