THE CAT KILLED BY CURIOSITY

THE SIX YEAR OLD DAUGHTER

ENJOYED ASKING QUESTIONS.

SHE ENJOYED ASKING LOTS OF QUESTIONS.

FINALLY, ONE DAY,

THE GIRL'S MOM HAD HAD ENOUGH.

"HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THAT

CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT?"

ASKED THE MOM. 

"NO," REPLIED THE GIRL. 

"THERE WAS ONCE A CAT

WHO WAS VERY INQUISITIVE.

ONE DAY, THIS CAT LOOKED

INTO A BIG WHOLE,

FELL IN, AND DIED!" 

THE LITTLE GIRL JUST STOOD

THERE QUIETLY, DEEP

IN HER OWN THOUGHTS.

THERE WAS A PAUSE.

"SO WHAT WAS IN THE HOLE?"
