RAINING KITTENS

In Berkeley, California, a woman decided to take a kitten as a pet. Some weeks later, the woman was doing some gardening, when she heard the kitten meowing. She saw that it had climbed to the highest branch of a tree and no manner of coaxing could persuade it to climb down. The woman tried looping a rope around the end of the branch, hoping to pull it down so that she could reach the kitten. Unfortunately, as she pulled on the rope, it snapped, and the branch sprang back, launching the meowing. kitten into the air. The woman searched all over the place but couldn't find it. The distraught woman spent days knocking on peoples' doors in the area until one morning, an old man answered her knock. The woman explained what had happened to her kitten and asked if the man had seen it. The man smiled and said, "So that's where the little bugger came from. I was minding my own business, sitting in the back garden, when this kitten drops out of the sky and into my lap! Gave me the fright of my life!" The man went back into his house and returned with the meowing. kitten.
