Pete the Cat
Pete the Cat was walking down the street in his new white shoes. He loved his shoes so much that he sang a song.
Pete the Cat sang, “I love my white shoes.
I love my white shoes.
I love my white shoes.”
Oh no! Pete stepped into a pile of strawberries! It turned his shoes red.
Did he cry? Goodness, no! He kept walking along and singing his song.
Pete the Cat sang, “I love my red shoes.
I love my red shoes
I love my red shoes.”
Oh no! Pete stepped into a large pile of blueberries. It turned his shoes blue.
Did he cry? Goodness, no! He kept walking along and singing his song.
Pete the Cat sang, “I love my blue shoes.
I love my blue shoes.
I love my blue shoes.”
Oh no! Pete stepped in a puddle of mud! It turned his shoes brown.
Did he cry? Goodness, no! He kept walking along and singing his song
Pete the Cat sang, “I love my brown shoes.
I love my brown shoes.
I love my brown shoes.”
Oh no! Pete stepped in a bucket of water. All the red, blue, and brown were washed away. His shoes were white again. But now they were wet.
Did he cry? Goodness, no! He kept walking along and singing his song.
Pete the Cat sang, “I love my wet shoes.
I love my wet shoes.
I love my wet shoes.”
The moral of the story is: no matter what you step in, keep walking along and singing your song, because it’s all good.
