It happened in the English lesson. All the students were finishing their compositions about pets. Ms Smith, our English teacher, came up to the window and said "What a nice winter day! It is snowing now! And everything is so quiet."
There was a faint sound from outside the window. At first Ms Smith did not pay any attention to it. Then the sound was repeated and it became stronger. Ms Smith opened the window and exclaimed "Look, children, we have a new student, today!" She turned to the class with a little white kitten in her hands and said, "This poor kitten is cold and hungry."
Alice raised her hand and said " I * ll take the kitten home. I think I'll call him Snowy." Everyone was very glad. "It's so nice that Snowy has just found a new family", said Ms Smith.
Now Snowy is a big clever cat.
