“Billy,â€? said Jake, rubbing his hand, “that damn cat bit me!â€?

“Jake,â€? said Billy, “what the hell? I told you I’d be right back!â€?

“It looked like I could grab it by the tail. But, it bit me and ran around the bushes and up a tree out back.â€?

“Jake, I’m telling you that weren’t no cat.â€?

“What the hell was it then, huh?â€?

“I don’t know, but cats ain’t got wings. Or glowing red eyes!â€?

“It sure howled like it was a cat.â€?

“Well, hell, I’d howl too if I had a tail and you grabbed it like that!â€?
