The Spring Festival was coming. The animals in the forest wanted to have a party. Cat and Rat were very good friends. They wanted to go to the party together. The night before the party, Cat said to Rat, “Wake me up early in the morning, please.” “OK,” said Rat. Then Cat went to bed. The next morning, Rat got up early. But he didn’t wake up Cat. He went to the party himself. Rat ate and drank at the party. But poor Cat missed the party. Cat was very angry. Other animals were angry, too. They didn’t want to play with Rat.
